There is no possible justification for that sort of beating, IMHO.
I'll bet that under Islamic Law, (Iraq is some sort of quasi-civil/quasi-Islamic legal system, right?) there will be some sort of awful punishment for this man. Let him have his trial, then let justice be done.

If an American did this to another world leader then I think that they would be put in jail for a pretty long time.

But probably not worked over by the police.
-- unless the incident happened in New York or L.A., in which case, may God have mercy on his soul.

So as Americans, we should feel some protective reaction about anybody taking a pot shot at our Commander in Chief. Again, regardless of the man in the seat, that's the US Presidency. Its like that old adage about how I can bitch and moan all I want about my family but don't you dare say something against them because they're MY family.

Pretty much matches our reactions as well.
And yeah, DS, you're certainly free to have an opinion. That doesn't mean the rest of us have to act like it's a reasonable opinion when it isn't.
