Saudi Ambassador Spreads Blame over Cartoon Dispute
(Boston Globe) Roy Greene - The Saudi ambassador to the U.S. blamed both sides Wednesday for inflaming the dispute over cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed, and urged them to calm the furor by using ''reason to overcome passion." ''These cartoons are totally unacceptable," Prince Turki al-Faisal told the Boston Globe. Separately, Turki urged nations to engage the Palestinian group Hamas rather than ostracize the militant Islamic movement as it prepares to take control of the Palestinian legislature on Saturday.
