that you see, wanting to discriminate against other Americans, are running the Government. You think they are only racist at home but not in the International arena? I pointed out Graham's friendly audience for a reason. His audience was Christians for Israel. THey are probably against abortion, voting rights and immigration rights too. They are our religious extremists. Just listen to someone like Sarah Palin. They operate from the premise of cultural superiority. If Iran got a bomb, it places them closer to equality which threatens their idea of superiority.

When you hear arguments from the right that Iranians or Arabs can't even build an airplane that flies, but on the other hand have the intelligence to build a nuclear bomb defeats the whole idea of racial superiority for these people. They keep bragging about Israelis' superior military but they aren't any smarter than any other people. They got that superior weaponry from the United States which has a history based on racism. Manifest Destiny,the Slave Trade,Civil War, and Civil Rights Movement all testify to that in our History, which many Americans want to deny. This is a country's government that once supported Apartheid South Africa over human rights. It took Civil Rights movements to change that Policy too, when many of the same people such as Lindsy Graham supported countries like South Africa. It may not have been Graham but the main supporters came from his rightwing constituents and many was on the religious right.
