    Given the conservative cuts in "Great Society" programs beginning with Nixon, why is it a surprise that these programs did not deliver what was expected? And why is it a surprise that minorities have no interest in voting for Republicans, given that they have no reason to expect any help whatsoever?

    It’s not the cartoons– a contrarian perspective from a Muslim cartoonist

    Don't be absurd. If we were so concerned about Hussein's "people", why wait ten years? 9/11 was the best thing that ever happened to Bush Jr. Gave him the perfect excuse. Read your history.

    It’s not the cartoons– a contrarian perspective from a Muslim cartoonist

    And why are they demanding that the US return? What about the Sunnis? The Kurds? We didn't invade Iraq for the sake of Hussein's "people".

    So what are right-wingers outraged about today?
