OK, I said it. Go ahead and flame me. Of course I’d like to see the bastard bombed into oblivion. Of course I think he’s an asshole. Of course I’m sickened by his acts and his entire organization. But damn if he isn’t hot. ---

You want to be flamed? Ok. Fuck you for being so insensitive as to post this. Fuck you for being so stupid as to share your physical attraction to a man who is reponsible for the maiming and death of thousands. Fuck you for being such a shallow person that you are able to find something compelling in the physical characteristics of a monster. ---

Yeah, he’s a fuckin’ babe alright. Are you _kidding_ me? Look, far be it from me to dissuade you from posting the electronic equivalent of writing _Mrs. Lucky Bin Laden_ over and over again in a teenage diary, but you _probably_ could have given this topic a couple weeks before hitting “submit.” Jesus. the Holy Avenger ---

I’m trying not to lose my respect for every woman based on one sadly f\*cked up person’s comment. I already feel sorry for the guy you’ll end up with some day and for his decision to settle. I don’t get outraged very often but that was a pretty sick display of a real lack of class. ---

Just making an objective observation. As I said, let’s fry the asshole. You’ll get no argument from me. But I did notice, in reading all the news coverage, that he is a surprisingly handsome man. I suppose we always expect murders, child molesters and other assorted poxs on society to look like the boogy man, which is, of course, riduculous. Nevertheless, it seems odd that this particular asshole, if he lost the beard and turban, could be gracing the cover of Gentleman’s Quartely. ---

Guys, maybe it’s like the whole paradox-he looks like a guy, if he wasn’t always in military garb, who you could meet on the streets-who would take advantage of you. It’s almost the whole inside out, looks can deceive, etc etc. I still say though, Omar Sharif is hotter. ---

thats a big problem when you “expect” people to look a certain way. this is how child molesters, serial killers and fuck-nut terrorists and thier ilk are so successful. people “expect” to see a monster when really they just look like everyone else. “I’m not prejudice, I hate everybody!” ---
