- Description
The cartoon questions the furore over the burning of the Koran at a United States air base, in response to which, President Obama apologised to President Karzai. By contrast civilians are still being killed in Syria by President Assad's loyal forces. Context: President Barack Obama apologized for the burning of Korans on a U.S. air base in Afghanistan as Afghans and NATO troops died in a third day of riots over the treatment of the Islamic scripture. (Bloomberg Feb 24 2012) The United Nations General Assembly has overwhelmingly approved a new resolution condemning rights violations in Syria and calling on president Bashar al-Assad to step aside. (ABC February 17 2012)
