War junkie gets his fix Another year, and the promise — indeed, the certainty — of more war. Yep, that’s what Uncle Sam lives for. As he slouches on economic skid row, it’s the only thing that makes him feel really alive. The cartoon, by Malcolm Evans, is from the Manawatu Standard of January 1, 2013.

The worthy gent in this cartoon, from the Manawatu Standard of September 23, 2011, is Murray McCully — New Zealand’s Rugby World Cup Minister and Foreign Affairs Minister. No doubt he will also express sadness over the death, announced today, of another New Zealand soldier in Afghanistan. The soldier, who has not yet been named, is the fourth to die as a result of the Government’s foolish decision to support the American imperial adventure in that country.
