NYT article on Feb. 10, 2006 focuses on the Danish Prime Minister's remarks that Iran & Syria have hijacked the cartoon crisis for their domestic ends. I can see some merit to this argument. But when he goes further to say "I don't think we could have done something in another way", I think I will have to take issue with him. To start with he could have met with the Moslem/Arab ambassadors, who requested to meet him when the story bubbled up. Something he was forced to do, when it was already to late.

The story was also covered in the WP on the same day.
