US Cartoon of Mexican Flag Draws Ire Across the Border

"An American cartoonist's rendition of the Mexican flag is causing controversy south of the border, where Mexicans say it's offensive to taint their national symbol with images of drug violence.....
Political cartoonist Daryl Cagle's drawing, which ran on the front page of several Mexican newspapers this week, shows what's normally a regal-looking eagle at the center of Mexico's flag riddled with bullets and bleeding. It's a reference to the drug wars that have riled Mexico and left more than 28,000 people dead there in less than four years."

I applaud this cartoonist's depiction of a bullet-ridden Mex flag- showing a downed eagle blown to smithereens by drug cartel bullets. This is what Mexico is about. In fact it is their chief 'cultural' contribution to the world and chief 'cultural' export to USA.
