Wolfgang--

You're usually very observant, but you are wrong in this case--it's not at all clear that Teribus did not mean all Iraqi Sunnis should suffer--in fact it's likely he did.

21 Nov 2006 8:56 PM Teribus: The Sunni population of Iraq are "the equivalent of the hard-line Nazis in Germany in 1945" . It is a reasonable interpretation that Teribus would want hard-line Nazis in 1945 to suffer--so would we. But he equates ALL Iraqi Sunnis--not just unrepentant Ba'athists-- to hardline Nazis in 1945. This is where he is tragically--and stupidly--wrong.

He does equate them--therefore, as I said, he is advocating continuing suffering for all Iraqi Sunnis. In fact he has a track record of hostility to Sunnis--at least a year.

It would be appreciated if all posters would read carefully---and not just the preceding post.
