Roundup Time

Arabs, Arab Revolt, Arab Spring, Turkey, Iran, Persia, Syria, Egypt, Phoenicia, Berbers, Stampede, Cows, Cattle, roundup : Dry Bones cartoon.
The Arabs have never been able to establish a coherent civilization uniting the lands of the Syrians, Phoenicians, Iraqis, Egyptians, Berbers, and the other nations and peoples across the Middle East that they conquered. The Ottoman Turks and the Persian Iranians are, however a different story.

The Arabs are now in turmoil and disarray ...and the Turks and Persians are moving to grab and control the pieces.

Today's cartoon is one that I posted before leaving on my speaking tour of Chinese universities and think tanks.

Dear Mr Kirschen
While in China, you could tell your counterparts that Dry Bones is sometimes censored by their Big Brother. It happened to me when I was there prior to the 2008 Olympic Games. I was unabled to open one of your cartoons dealing with Taiwan's participation to some previous OG... They are sooo touchy!
Have a good time!

I think this cartoon would be very hard to understand without your explanation on the blog.You should have made the cows more "Arab" looking - perhaps a Kafia with the name of their state on it.

Dear Mr Kirschen

To refer to Arabs and portray them as cows in an insult to the animal world!

So sorry, I made a mistake with the name, I am to say "Dear Yaakov"

The winner of war between the Gobbling Turkeys and the crazy Per(ver)sians will be the latter.

But before the cows get their throats slit by the Shiite Halal butchers, they'll make another try to get Brer Obama and the Euro-twits involved.

Where are the Rooshians in all this? Sitting quietly ready to pick up the pieces. And the Chinese? Ask Yaakov when he gets back from his visit.

Oh heck - I'm all mixed up - It's Simchat Torah, not Purim.

SO: For a more serious analysis of all this, see my post of 23/02/2007 to the Dry Bones Blog. It's the second Comment, shown as Anonymous, but signed off at the end. here is the link: http://drybonesblog.blogspot.com/2007/02/israeli-q-and.html

Are you sure they are cows? (female bovine who have had a calf) or maybe they are steers. (male castrated bovines) I think the latter as they often act as if they were lacking a body part.
