3. What issue/event does the cartoon deal with? The cartoon offers commentary on the recent attack on Fort Hood in relation to our anti-terrorism efforts in the Middle East.
4. What is the cartoon's message? Beeler is pointing out the problem of focusing our fight on radical Islam in just one area of the world. This cartoon shows that while we are busy fighting terrorism in the middle east, we have radical Islamic terrorists in our own country that are posing a threat to our security as evidenced by the Fort Hood tragedy.
5. Do you agree/disagree with the cartoon's message? I agree with the cartoon's message. The middle east is not the only place where radical Islam exists. Those outside of the Middle East who still subscribe to the same radical beliefs can be the most dangerous to our safety in America, for they are already in position to do us harm as we saw at Fort Hood. While fighting terrorism in the Middle East is an important part of our national security, we must also do better at making sure there are no threats to this security already existing within our country.
