Roberto De Vido is a communications consultant, writer, cartoonist and jack of many trades. The former chief of Tucson Sentinel’s East Asia Bureau, he now lives in California (make of that what you will).

“My administration has a job to do and we’re going to do it. We will rid the world of the evil-doers.”

— former President George W. Bush, in 2001
