This shouldn't really come as surprise, I suspect Lott is just articulating 
what the right have been thinking for the past 4 months since that pesky 
bunch of ingrate Ay-rabs didn't start bowing, grovelling and pumping oil 
the minute the US 'won'.

These are people who spent the last year or more dehumanizing Hussein and 
his entourage specifically, Iraqis in general; playing cards, collateral 
damage, speculation about using nukes, shock and awe, and so on. Lott's 
sentiment is a logical extension of the thought processes that brought you 
this war.

Lott may only be a little less articulate than the rest of the right/war 
party, but I truly believe he's expressing a pretty common sentiment.

Still appalling though.
