London's Times Memorial Page for the Terrorism of
September
11th, 2001
C.A.T.
Cartoons!
Sadly, Mahmoud Kahil passed away on February
11th,
2003. We were thankful for his contribution to
this site and his concurrence that terrorism is never warranted. While
his
political outlook often differed
from the managers of the CAT site, he expressed it with style and an
irreverence
for the insanity which often
defines politics and nationalism! If we could all take ourselves a
little
less seriously and allow room
for more than one point-of-view, perhaps we could solve many of the
problems
that keep us at odds!
Mr. Kahil will be missed!
