Too much huh? In hard economic times, thugs act out because they believe they need to do something but when they act out, they often act from their deepest fears and insecurities. As the fake war and real economic collapse race forward, the racists who jumped on board to kick Muslim ass to attack Iraq for weapons of mass distraction will expose their ugly heads again. Your friend is still alive but the 600,000 Muslims who had nothing to do with 9-11 died in Bu$h's fake war are not alive today. Let us hope the racists do not win over the hearts of the war weary American public as America begins to pay for its warmongering. The ultimate cost of racism is human misery and death. I would have hoped for better for idealized America.
