(Reuters) - The first edition of Charlie Hebdo (click here) published after the deadly attacks by Islamist gunmen sold out within minutes at newspaper kiosks around France on Wednesday, with people queuing up to buy copies to support the satirical weekly.
"I've never bought it before, it's not quite my political stripes, but it's important for me to buy it today and support freedom of expression," said David Sullo, standing at the end of a queue of two dozen people at a kiosk in central Paris....
The attack on this charming newspaper was suppose to be end it's publication. It didn't. It is now held in affection by the world of civilized societies. Rather than closing it's doors, Charlie Hebdo has grown a global audience.
I found the focus by Reuters a sincere and profound twist of fate. Let this be a lesson to anyone that wants to destroy freedom. It doesn't work.
