i found the cartoons offensive, in that they were published only to piss people off. i don't believe it was about freedom of speech, even though i agree with you that they have the right to say what they want.
i found the response to them offensive too - it's a real shame that the protests were not peaceful (or that some protesters were not). it's kinda like the antiglobalization campaigners. a few years back there was always trouble and violence, and sure enough the next day the message was lost because the media only talked about the destruction.
i would have more respect for the danish paper if they just admitted that all they wanted to do was kick off a sh$# storm and see what happened.
