Dead Iraqi Gays Are On America's Conscience

Carter Todd takes the Blame America First meme to a whole new level of retched stupidity.

Believe it or not, life was actually better for gays under Saddam Hussein, who essentially had a "don't ask, don't tell" policy.

No other reason or example is given of the sunshiny, kite-flying, gay utopia Saddam's Iraq was before Bush invaded. No mention of the actual culprits who carried out the murders. No. But it's our fault. A free Iraq is bad because it frees up religious zealots to kill. If anyone can figure out that logic, please enlighten me.
