1. Hadn't seen it yet, thanks
Yeah, they're throwing all kinds of roses at our troops' feet. NOT.

Regime change begins at home!

4. Is the Statue Of Liberty wearing a KKK Hood in that drawing?
It kind of looks cone shaped like a dunce cap.

6. I wonder how an Iraqi would know about the cross under the chin
Could the drawing have been made by an American?

7. You think maybe...
their news over there just happened to mention some of our more interesting groups?

You know al-Jazeera has the goods on the Klan, and the sheets and cross are powerful symbols to show the Iraqis, and anyone else, our darker side.

12. Ya' mean "Bad People" think & research as well as have parties?
...(sarcasm)...I'm sure that there are folks in Iraq who have their own version of the DU and they and other scholars have done research on our ugly history and "our bad people"....
