Dick Cheney is one of the last persons we need to listen to when it comes to freedom and civil rights, an ant compared to the giant Mandela. His right-wing Republican party just won 2/3 of its recent electoral college votes in 17 states which had Jim Crow racist laws (Georgia, Mississipi, Alabama, etc.). I pointed out in a prior email how racism has found a comfortable home in the Republican party as part of its southern strategy. I wonder how many of the current Republican supporters on this forum have travelled through the segregated south recently and if they were invited into a white home? Unlike the chickenhawks, I think they are more likely fighting in Iraq now for a war they believe in - at the very least still searching for non-existant WMD's. Regards, George Definition of Chickenhawk n. A person enthusiastic about war, provided someone else fights it; particularly when that enthusiasm is undimmed by personal experience with war; most emphatically when that lack of experience came in spite of ample opportunity in that person�s youth.
