   Actually at that point I hadn't decided what side of the fence Chris was on.   
      
   At that point in the discussion, he had simply brought up whether or not we   
   were righteous showing a film of Saddam after we had protested at the   
   filming, degradation, and mockery that Iraqi troops had subjected our POWs   
   to.   
      
   My issue was to point out the difference between the two films as well as   
   the intent behind them.   
      
   It was only afterwards that Chris made it a "Bush" thing.   
      
   But yes, in a general sense, I am referring to a subset of American society   
   who feel to this day that the Constitution should not have been followed -   
   and indeed, still refer to the day Bush "stole" the election.  In that   
   sense, I guess Roe "stole" a baby's Right to life.  And I guess Brady   
   "stole" my Constitutionally guaranteed Right to bear arms.
