Yeah, it's pretty mysterious, ain't it, Amos... ;-) Gosh! I wonder if the Bush administration and the right wing talk show people had anything to do with creating that impression? Ya think?

pdq - The average American voter didn't give two hoots about the 1.4 million Middle Easterners (mostly Iraqis and Iranians and Kurds) who died because of Saddam Hussein. Not even one hoot. They couldn't care less about those people. But they did give a hoot about the 3,000 people who died in New York on 911, and that's why they foolishly backed the invasion of Iraq in 2003.
