LEARNING ENGLISH FROM CARTOONS

This cartoon by Gary Barker from The Guardian is a comment on Western leaders' support for the Libyan rebels in their fight to oust the dictator Muammar Gaddafi.

David Cameron, Barack Obama and Nicolas Sarkozy are shown at a press conference saying in unison: "We are united behind the Libyan people's victory over oppression." However, each podium features the name of the national oil company (BP, Exxon, and Total), suggesting that the motive for these countries' involvement in the Libyan conflict has more to do with securing oil contracts than combating oppression.

A Kuwaiti woman who once ran for parliament has called for sex slavery to be legalised - and suggested that non-Muslim prisoners from war-torn countries would make suitable concubines.

Salwa al Mutairi argued buying a sex-slave would protect decent, devout and 'virile' Kuwaiti men from adultery because buying an imported sex partner would be tantamount to marriage.

And she even had an idea of where to 'purchase' these sex-salves - browsing through female prisoners of war in other countries.
