Here is my problem with reprinting the cartoons. You are placing people like soldiers, volunteers and diplomats (people trying to do there jobs) in greater danger or attention, they don't want this added pressure. I am OK with reprinting the cartoons even I think it symbolizes hatred or conroversy more than freedom of speech but for the publishers that do that should get geared up and sent on the front lines with the troops so they can at least share the jobs of those lives they expose to extra danger in barbaric lands. There is such a thing as freedom of speech, but there is also responsibility and holding up to your actions. If your action places someone at greater risk like some these rabid publishers do than you should be held accountable. If you wish to place other peoples lives at greater risk than have the balls to back it up and face the music on the front lines with those whom you place at greater risk. They can help by rebuilding if you can hold a hammer they can probably find some use for them of course when it comes to backing up there freedom of speech as they claim in these situations they tend to be less vocal and more likely to wet there pants.
