| What IDIOT called in the morticians for Uday and Qusay? He or she has all the brains of a fireplug, and deserves the appropriate treatment from every passing dog! It was going so well. They were following my advice, albeit taking too long. [snipped. Thanks for your opinion...] |

| #7 Oops! Sorry, I didn't realize it wasn't for commentary. I figured it was for rants when I got the invitation, given the name Rantburg. Will not re-offend. John |

| #5 Time we stopped worrying about Arab sensitivity. They have never given a rat's ass about Western sensitivity. Have a problem with the corpses of Saddam bros? Bite me! Wait until we get a hold of Big Daddy! |

| #4 What IDIOT called in the morticians for Uday and Qusay? That's our basic decency shining through. We agonized over whether to show the bodies whereas Saddam showed the bodies of our men as soon as they could so Arabs could launch into wild ululations. Prettying up corpses is what funeral directors do. Given that this was a mandatory open casket type situation, they had to make do with what they could. I have no problem with what was done. Respect for the dead is part of our canon. Whatever their sins in life, they have now gone to their reward. |

| #3 Where was the cultural outrage over the mass graves of two hundred children? Twenty years of excess by these two bozos? And now people are upset that they got clown faces? Sorry boys, the 'Arab Street' can stick it if they find this offensive or want to wallow in their already unchangable beliefs that is all a CIA or Mossad plot, because I find most of the actions of the 'Arab Street' offensive. Let's rerun the video from the West Bank from 9/11. Those who want reform will be there. The mob in the steet isn't going to change short of the destruction of Western Civilization. It's the fence sitters who have to make the choice. If those fence sitters find this offensive in face of the brutality and butchery of the boys, then they can go join the mob. It'll make a bigger target when the time comes. |

| #2 Rantburg isn't for commentary, though I generally agree with the sentiment. |

| #1 Spot on. This is so stupid in fact, that it makes me wonder if we have a large influential group of internal saboteurs intentionally misleading whomever is authorized to make such decisions. Only someone who doesn't know dick about Arabs could've done this. Those who've dealt with them at length know that you have to shove proof up an Arabs's ass to get a damn response, much less an acknowledgment of it - to get an admission, Allah has to reveal it himself directly to the asshat in question. Apparently, those of us in the West, raised on Aristotelian precepts, will never truly understand those who weren't. For Arabs, truth is just a matter of convenience - a mere referential term - and has no intrinsic value. Until those who deal with them on our collective behalf fully grasp this fact, we will continue to sputter along in our efforts, whether it's rebuilding and stabilizing Iraq or expecting their assistance in the WoT or following through on any agreed upon obligation on their part. Constant negotiation and renegotiation as well as active obfuscation is their daily bread. Let them eat cake. |
