Of course not Bobad. Ironically the past generation of Israeli leaders, Begin, Sharon and others are the only government leaders I know of who ever did. They supported and engaged in terrorism against British soldiers and diplomats when Israel was part of Palestine Mandate. But they stopped verbally supporting terrorism once their goal was accomplished.

The question "Let's see if someone can print an anti-terrorist cartoon in Iran, now?"

is easily answered, If the cartoon were against terrorism by other countries or entities, say the "Tamil Tigers" then I'm sure it could be printed.

I'm not saying that the press isn't suppressed in Iran. I'm confident that it is. I don't think they would be able to print cartoons saying for instance "the Mullahs have poop in their pants"

But they could certainly have one saying "USA's Shock and Awe campaign was terrorism" and technically they would be correct. Here is the non Bush Administration, actual definition of "terrorism". Shock and Awe was a plan to get Iraq's army to lay down their weapons by terrorizing the poop out of them and in to their pants.
