A dollop of divine retribution bestowed upon Cheney might make a believer out of me. I can't be so big as to hide my heart and not express my contempt for the person Cheney is..He's a monster, and any tragedy that could befall him would be welcomed in my sight. Vengeance is mine saith the Lord... and he can have it, but I'll enjoy every minute of being a witness if it comes to pass.

Would that they would do it more often: I have noticed a disturbing tendency amongst a significant minority of HuffPo readers to blame anything they possibly can on the international Zionist/Jewish conspiracy. I'm not talking about legitimate criticism of the Israeli government, for instance. I have seen comments that would make neo-Nazis here and abroad proud--vicious and visceral anti-Semitism that would be considered middle-of-the-road in Iranian government or Al-Qaeda circles. I find it scary and I am highly offended that HuffPo leaves all these comments on the site. I admit that I have yet to write to HuffPo concerning this issue. My one attempt got erased by accident. I really should do it, though. Thanks Maha, for being so vigilant on your blog. I really appreciate it. I certainly think the Huffington Post did the right thing.

I've never been inclined to play God and say who should live or who should die; that's one reason why I condemn assassination. Another, lesser reason is that it sometimes creates martyrs of the utterly undeserving. I think most of us would love to see Cheney toothless and incontinent, preparing to meet his maker in his due time, with all his sins on his head just like Hamlet's uncle/stepfather.

If the Iraq war had been an honest response to a real threat, these terrible injuries and ruined lives -- both American and Iraqi -- would be the tragic price of fighting for freedom. But this war was based on lies, and there never was a real threat to our national security. This war was not a cause, it was a crime.
