Kuwaiti MP Waleed al-Tabtabaie, from Global reactions to Libyan rebels' gains in Tripoli:

“Mubarak’s departure is a victory for the youth and a loss for Israel, Gaddafi’s departure is a victory for the people and a loss for comedy and Bashar (al-Assad)’s departure will be a victory for Syria and a loss for Iran.”

A loss for comedy – and for cartoonists.
