More Than Ever, This Land Of 'Freedom Of Expression' Written In Response To The New Issue Of Charlie Hebdo Poem by Chen-ou Liu

If you don't stand for something you will fall for anything. Malcolm X

Men and women, the young and old, line up in the early-morning darkness at a newsstand, waiting to buy the first issue of Charlie Hebdo since the terrorist attacks. On its new cover, the bearded Prophet sheds a single tear and holds up a sign saying, "I am Charlie." Above the cartoon on a green background is the headline, "All is forgiven."
