Imagine if Los Angeles or some other city WAS just like Baghdad
Edited on Fri Mar-30-07 11:38 AM by ck4829
That's what we regularly hear from the right wing pundits, "Oh, it's not THAT bad. Why, _______ (Fill in random American city's name here) is just like Baghdad."

Oh really?

Here are some of the headlines I could see if that was true:

"Protestants bomb Catholic church in Chicago, Catholics vow revenge"

"Aide to Mayor of San Francisco wounded in rocket attack"

"Right wing religious zealot bombs women's health clinic and gay bar" (OK, that one was a bad example)
