Brilliant cartoon Latuff...

Hey that's a really clever cartoon Latuff. You're saying that the euro is, hey, like a ticking timebomb. Greece, Ireland and Portugal are all going to explode, all at the same time, in the near future. That's a really deep comparison. But shouldn't there be evil scheming Jews, er I mean Zionists, behind the scenes somewhere?
Rather fucks up your employer's plans to replace the petrodollar with the petro-euro though, doesn't it?

Ahmadejad: US planned Wikileaks release to pressure Iran
By JPOST.COM STAFF AND ASSOCIATED PRESS
11/29/2010 15:30

Iranian president responds to documents which exposed Arab calls for strike on country's nuclear facilities, alleges leaks were an "organized" effort to "stir up trouble."

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Monday that leaked American diplomatic cables recounting Arab calls for the US to launch a strike on Iran's nuclear facilities were intended to stir "mischief."

According to the cables released Sunday by online whistle-blower Wikileaks, King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia repeatedly urged the United States to attack Iran to destroy its nuclear program to stop Teheran from developing a nuclear weapon.

"We don't give any value to these documents," Ahmadinejad told a news conference "It's without legal value. Iran and regional states are friends. Such acts of mischief have no impact on relations between nations."

Ahmadinejad alleged the leaks were an "organized" effort by the US to stir trouble between Iran and Arab neighbors. When asked to comment on the documents, he said, "the material was not leaked, but rather released in an organized way," according to a Press TV report.

"The US administration released them and based on them they pass judgment …. [The documents] have no legal value and will not have the political effect they seek," Ahmadinejad was further quoted as saying. He went on to say that the Wikileaks "game" is "not worth commenting upon and that no one would waste their time reviewing them."

The comments came after Lebanese Prime Minister Sa'ad Hariri told Ahmadinejad that his country would not be part of any international group that aims to pressure Iran over its controversial nuclear program, seemingly in reaction to the Wikileaks exposure.

Among the first-published documents on Sunday night were nicknames for a number of world leaders. Ahmadinejad was referred to as "Hitler," French President Nicolas Sarkozy as a "naked emperor," the German Chancellor was called Angela "Teflon" Merkel and Afghan President Hamid Karzai as "driven by paranoia." Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, an "Alpha Male," while President Dmitry Medvedev is "afraid, hesitant."

Abbas to UN: Continued settlement constitutes a 'time bomb'

Abbas to UN: Continued settlement constitutes a 'time bomb'

Israeli envoy to UN responds, "it takes two to tango"; Ban Ki-moon calls settlement building "serious blow to credibility of political process."

In a message read at the UN's headquarters in New York Monday, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas called West Bank settlements a "time bomb," AFP reported.

As the world body commemorated International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, a message from Abbas said that the deterioration in the peace process "requires bringing a decisive and final end to the vicious Israeli settlement campaign."

The PA president continued, saying that continued settlement "constitutes a time bomb that could destroy everything we have accomplished on the road to peace, at any moment," AFP reported.

Responding to what he called "destructive rhetoric," Israeli UN envoy Meron Reuben retorted, "It takes two to tango, Israel cannot reach peace on its own," according to AFP.

Reuben added, "We can only achieve peace with the Palestinians through compromise and direct and bilateral negotiations," according to the report. "We can only move forward through bilateral negotiations that address the concerns of both sides," he said.

For his part, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon spoke candidly on the issue, saying that there was "little optimism" on either side, AFP reported. Addressing the issue of settlements, the secretary-general said that continued building constitutes "a serious blow to the credibility of the political process."

Ban Ki-moon, however, did not only direct his statements at Israel. He made it clear that the Palestinians "must continue to roll out the institutions of statehood, combat terrorist attacks and curb incitement," according to the report.

Hey Latuff, here's a brilliant idea for your next cartoon...
