A POP QUIZ

Let's take a little quiz. Think back to a few images from our recent past. The first that springs to mind would be of the World Trade Towers falling as people leapt to their deaths to avoid being burned alive. Second, we see The charred bodies of American civilian contractors hung from a bridge in Iraq. Third comes the last moments of Nick Berg shortly before he was brutally slaughtered in medieval fashion by his Al Qaida captures (though, of course Al Qaida has no connection to Iraq, Right?). The last image is of an Iraqi prisoner pig pile. Now place all of those photos side-by-side. Here comes the quiz. Which one of those images do you suppose creates the most outrage for Democrats. If you said number four, you are correct. The photo of naked Iraqi prisoners prompts much more consternation in them than any of the more brutal images mentioned. How can it be that a group of people can be so much more concerned about the treatment (albeit reprehensible) of enemy combatants than they are about the death of Americans. I suppose only they can answer that quiz. However, a better answer can come from the voters in November when they remind the Democrats that we cannot afford to get this one wrong.
