I'm not a
real cartoonist - just an occasional amateur; certainly I don't have the
talent, commitment and above all the courage of Stephane Charbonnier and his
colleagues at Charlie Hebdo.
But the attack on them was an attack on me, and anyone who tries publicly
to express a view. Many, cartoonists, certainly those on the left like the Charlie Hebdo team, offered support for
persecuted minorities, opposing for example western intervention in Iraq and
Afghanistan. But they - we - can't continue to express that support without our
freedom of expression.
