BAGHDAD — Iraqi gays are being targeted and killed in what some human-rights organizations call the most brutal attacks against homosexuals in recent years.

At least 68 gay and transgendered men have been killed over the last four months, according to the London-based rights advocacy group Iraqi LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender). At least 678 people have been killed because of their sexual orientation since 2004, according to the group.

Aren't they targeting everyone?  Isn't that what chaos and anarchy is?  Isn't that what we wanted?

Before we engaged in regime change Iraq had no terrorists, though it was a police state.  It was also the only secular government in the region, and I take it this kind of persecution has its roots in, ahem, religious values.

Wait, are you trying to say that our Evangelical former President might've been anti-Muslim?  Say it isn't so!
