"THE DECADENT SULLIVANS, IN THEIR ENCLAVES, MAY MOUNT A FIFTH COLUMN . . . IN CHILE!"

Because Andrew Sullivan seems to think so, I want an answer: How, exactly, does this cartoon from Le Monde constitute "anti-American hate"? It's a tough cartoon, I'd admit, but I don't see hatred. And yes, the timing is interesting, with 2-year (9/11) and 30-year anniversaries (the CIA-backed Allende coup) happen to coincide.

Needless to say, far more Chileans died under the iron fist of Pinochet than did Americans in the attacks. And I know, Sully isn't worth my time, but it's just so . . . easy!
