RIYADH, Saudi Arabia - The last time Ahmed al-Shayea was in the news, he was in the hospital at the Abu Ghraib prison in Baghdad, being treated for severe burns from the truck bomb he had driven into the Iraqi capital on Christmas Day, 2004.

Default Thank you John1960

A very heart-warming story--I read it in its entirety. Wouldn't it be nice if he could tour the area, like an old battle-scarred ex gang-banger, and talk to young boys about his misguided experiences? Perhaps some of them might be able to use his wisdom to spare themselves (and all uf us) much unneccessary pain....
Thanks for bringing this to our attention.....

Countrary to popular belief and lies by the Bush Admin and Rethuglicans, not all muslims wanna kill every American. Sort of like the KKK doesn't reflect the general attitude of mainstream America...

Everyone knows not all Muslims want to kill Jews and Infidels. That's why I said a few million (the so-called small minority of the estimated 1.5 billion that do have such fantasies).

What lies? I haven't heard anyone in the administration blame Islam for the violence problems that seem to have the smell of jihad. On the contrary, the admin and US govt. in general has been roundly criticized for being too PC by many of it's own cheer leaders.

"Rethuglicans"? They still throwing out that stale old chestnut at DU? Time to come out of the hive for some fresh air.

My original post was tongue in cheek. I admit I do kick out of almost any topic bringing out the Bu****ler, repug, rethug, etc. etc. name calling commentary. Even pizza and t*ts can provoke political anxiety. Hard to believe but I've seen it myself.
