There is a famous story of Joseph Stalin. He brought his most powerful ministers, generals, and cabinet members into a room. Stalin held a live chicken in his arms. To the horror of the men in the room, Stalin began plucking out its feathers, one by one. The bird was being tortured.
When he was done, he put the bleeding bird down, and scooped up some chicken feed in his hand. The terrified and wounded bird came over to him and started to eat the feed out of his hand.
Stalin told his ministers: "This is how you treat the masses."
Wow. I never heard that story about Stalin before. Thanks.
That makes me think that Saddam Hussein learned the lesson well ...
And the analogy to Kerry is scary too ...
