This is not about Iraq, foreign policy or domestic issues but about Bubbas feeling good about themselves - they may not be able to pay their bills keep their job or get health care, but the want to feel good about themselves - and they do the only way they can - by kicking their kids, their wives, the Negroes, or other brown-skinned people. And they will love the president who gives them that opportunity. It is not a coincidence that Mr. Hussein was shown in a humiliating and dehumanizing way, e.g. by being subjected to a medical examination. The Bubbas will be joking about that for years to come.
