A more relevant comparison would be cartoons about Iraq. There are many out there. Do you react the same when you see one?
The point here is that something that is pretty meaningless to some has quite a lot of symbolic meaning to others. That is precisely why WTC cartoons are a relevant comparison. They have become untouchable in the mind of some people, while not in the mind of others.

Got any cartoons saved of the Jews during the Holocaust? Or, how about the poor starving kids in Ethiopia, or maybe hatchet mutilations from Africa.
