London's Times Memorial Page for the Terrorism of September 11th, 2001

C.A.T. Cartoons!

Sadly, Mahmoud Kahil passed away on February 11th, 2003. We were thankful for his contribution to
this site and his concurrence that terrorism is never warranted. While his political outlook often differed
from the managers of the CAT site, he expressed it with style and an irreverence for the insanity which often

for more than one point-of-view, perhaps we could solve many of the problems that keep us at odds!
Mr. Kahil will be missed!
