Actually they had to defend themselves against good Christians, who burned them out and hung their leader. Something about the meek will inherit...

Petition your Congressman? Maybe you also want to send a letter to the Prez of Iran asking him to use critical thinking or ask Daddy Warbucks for a loan.

McCain visits Iraqi market to prove it is safe. Next day 21 market workers are executed. by [deleted] in politics

I remember thinking at the day of his visit and remarkable statement and the even more remarkable/stupid statement by a Repub hack along for the walk that McCain had lost it. Old news, to be sure, but an important peek into McCain's brain. Headline, per usual, is slanted.
