about how America will be viewed in the history books regarding attacking Iraq, while stating as an example laws put into effect to put an end to lynching.

Richard Dreyfuss quite eloquently explained that just as America finally woke up to the evils of lynching, one day in the future maybe the country will wake up and disavow this preemptive strike policy against a country using little or no proof of its wrongdoing.

The problem is, a certain segment of this population still embraces the lynching concept -- the hate filled bigots who compose Bush's base.

Lynch mobs didn't care if a black person was innocent or guilty. They wanted blood, and any black would do. They even made a party of it. They laughed. They sang. They took souvenirs. They mugged for the camera.



You see the same disgusting behavior with our attack on Iraq. The ditto heads didn't care about Saddam's guilt or innocence. They wanted blood, and any Arab would do. They even made a party of it.

The thumped their chests, and high fived each other in orgasmic delight as the bombs fell.

Fast forward to Abu Gharib.

They laughed. They sang. They took souvenirs. They mugged for the camera.
