Good grief.

[Viet Vet in Augusta GA]

Betcha they're treated better here in the USA than by Saddam. Idiots.

ROFLMAO

[Moby Grape]

This must come as a hard blow to Bush....(sorry....terrible pun).

[JmyBryan]

Gays Skeptical of Bush's Iraq Policy

This is old news... they threatened to veto any new Security Council resolution days ago.

The sentiment shifted drastically, however, when GLBT respondents were asked to consider that the attack on Iraq would provide countless interior-redecorating opportunities. 'I mean, Saddam looks simply divine in that uniform, but I'd lose the moustache,' stated one.

Whatever happened to that news and poll "manager" Zogby?

Has the Association of One-armed Paper Hangers weighed in yet?

"Gays Skeptical of Bush's Iraq Policy

I guess I should care what a weird part of the society thinks?

[Connservative]

You- you mean that a liberal interest group actually doesn't agree with Predident Bush's policy???

For everyone's amusement, I will now pretend that I am surprised...

[Conspiracy Guy]

Maybe if GWB would play Barry Manilow tunes as background music for his speeches the numbers would improve.

[APBaer]

Perhaps they got overly excited when they
heard that we were going in a turkey's back way?

[Calvin Locke]

Huh? What? Are the radical gays pulling a North Korea? "Look at me! Look at me!", while the rest of world gets down to business, and a hopefully saner life.

[DoughtyOne]

Ah, I think their interview is up next. LOL

From a website catering to homosexuals, no less:

"Sexual diversity in Iraq? No one recognizes it. 'Gay' is certainly not a word mentioned at the dinner table." In Iraq, treating homosexuals with fairness and respect never becomes an issue since homosexuals are not considered to be people: "Iraqis see gays and lesbians as dirty animals. One doesn't talk with them or associate with them--like the untouchables in India, they simply do not exist." The refusal to acknowledge difference in Iraqi culture is augmented by the fact that, unlike in America, Iraq's political, religious and societal mores are established and maintained by the same, single dictator.

In Iraq, where the one philosophy that governs all of life declares homosexuality to be a crime against God and state, homosexuals are shunned in every way and suffer from an overwhelming lack of allies: "Iraq still practices an-eye-for-an-eye justice. If you steal, they chop off your hand. I shudder to think what they do to gays and lesbians." link to story
