#1 Let's see if I understand this....

An Iraqi group is holding hostages to force the Germans out of Afghanistan, right?

But, I thought that Democrats said that there was no relationship between Iraq and Afghanistan. Why would this happen if all the bad guys are in Afghanistan?

#2 Arrows of Righteousness... that's some sort of Mormon reference, right?

#3 The woman is married to an Iraqi physician and moved to Iraq 40 years ago.

My Grandaddy came to the U.S. in 1919. By 1959 - 40 years later - he was an American, not an Italian, despite his accent.

If somebody'd taken him hostage, I have grave doubts the Italian government would have turned a hair.

#4 How curious. So many of us who decry Islamic terrorism instantly are condemned as being racist. Does anyone else here beside me suspect that the kidnap of this German woman who has quite obviously adopted Iraqi culture and the nation of Iraq as her home was based entirely upon her race?
