I assume you will post similar sentiments about Newseek's fake story about the Quaran, something like:

Now, with that being said, while I'm sure that a sizeable minority of Islamic assholes will use these pictures as yet another flimsy justification for their irrational hatred of the US, it seems to me that an even more sizeable number of Iraqis ought to consider that this is the same guy that had no compunction about humiliating, torturing or even killing them while he was in power and not shed too many tears for Saddam.
Furthermore, while this may or may not have been a good move, it just goes to show how much of a bunch of, for lack of better term, wussies a sizeable portion of the world has become, when we get more bent out of shape over a pic of a terrorist or dictator in his underwear than we do over the pics of their victims in mass graves and/or jumping out of goddam buildings that some Islamic fundamentalist thought it was cool to fly a fucking airplane into.
If the Arab world is so damn sensitive that even this is an affront that justifies yet another round of terrorist attacks then you, Paul, and your anti-war crowd have just given us a perfect example of why the enemy is too irrational to EVER be reasoned with, and perfect justification for amping up the war on terror even more.
