Right on the Mark

Always topical, Doonesbury is the only comic strip I know of to cover the Middle East war, warts and all.

Remember when BD's leg was blown off and the warmongers called it unpatriotic? Well, the leg was the least of it--he also needed extensive psychological counseling for post-traumatic stress syndrome. And then there's Alex's boyfriend, recovering from brain damage, and Melissa, who was sexually assauledt by a superior officer. All in all, from Duke, profiteering as usual, to the Protestant lady chaplain, administering last rites to Catholic casualties, every human aspect of the war is covered.

Kudos, Gary Trudeau.
