The Idiocy of Sour Grape Hyperbole

Anyone who recklessly equates American Christian voters with Islamofascists needs to read this and apologize to the next Christian he sees:

Another poster in the ruins of the souk bears testament to the strict brand of Sunni Islam imposed by the council, fronted by hardline cleric Abdullah Junabi. The decree warns all women that they must cover up from head to toe outdoors, or face execution by the armed militants who controlled the streets.

Two female bodies found yesterday suggest such threats were far from idle. An Arab woman, in a violet nightdress, lay in a post-mortem embrace with a male corpse in the middle of the street. Both bodies had died from bullets to the head.

Just six metres away on the same street lay the decomposing corpse of a blonde-haired white woman, too disfigured for swift identification but presumed to be the body of one of the many foreign hostages kidnapped by the rebels.

Explain to me again why freeing the Iraqi people and others under Middle Eastern dictatorial or medieval fanatical Muslim rule is "the wrong war at the wrong time"?
