Tom Tomorrow infuses today's 'toon with a little savage satire. Droney, the anthropomorphic robot aircraft, attempts to gloss over mistaking a joyous wedding celebration for a terrorist training camp. The slopes of Mount Ethical Behavior are slippery indeed. If this is a (fair & balanced) demonstration that the ends justify the means, so be it.
