Absolutely, and the newspaper has chosen the correct way to demonstrate that point.

OTOH.............

I would certainly boycott a newspaper here which printed A and B.

I would probably boycott advertizers in that newspaper (on a side issue, I support the right to boycott 7-11, etc. for selling Playboy, Penthouse, etc.)

I would not necessarily boycott products from a county where a newspaper printed A and B unless such an attitude represented official (or predominant) views from that country.

I "Might" picket the embassy, but I WOULD NOT BURN DOWN THE EMBASSY OF THE COUNTRY WHICH PRINTED SUCH A CARTOON.
