"Many" is hyperbole? I could see if I had said millions or even thousands - but "many"? Do you doubt that there are those in some sections of our country, most likely in the south who are outright racist and don't consider Arabs as human? If you think my statement is hyperbolic, I suggest that you are being naive at best and disingenuous at worst. Now..... how about that broomstick of 'minor humiliation'? Please point out the "cheap rhetoric" in my statements. Again you are attacking the person and not dealing with the issue. Why are people in the South more likely to be racist?

This and other heinous acts by these scumbags, only confirms, to me, that they don’t deserve to share this planet. The issue is - just who are 'these scumbags'? All the Iraqi people? All the Palestinians?

Oh my, am I only trying to be pc - I guess I haven't achieved it yet. After viewing the pics from Abu Ghraib and the 'fuzzy' response from US officials, do you think that all Americans should be considered complicit in those abuses? Yes, I know there has been a geat hew and cry from several sectors of the American polulation over the 'shenanigans' over there, but in a repressed society as in many of the Arab countries, can there be a similar outcry against the violations of human decency? I don't know frizzer, but the answer is not as clearly black and white as we would like it to be. "Kill them all" is a kind of a knee jerk reaction in which I will not allow myself indulge. Anybody who cannot distinguish between the minor humiliations of abu ghraib and the celebration of murder and mutilation commonly indulged in by palestinian barbarians is not one looking for understanding and thus will never grasp what people are saying to her.

The article could also have mentioned the car body draggings on 2 occasions by terrorists in Saudi Arabia. In this weekend's attack, apparently it was a British infidel's body that got taken for a joyride.

I have not a clue. I didn't take a poll but I'm sure if you have the energy to look it up someone must have. It's interesting that that is the only part of my post to which you chose to reply.
