He may have become a Great man. But, in my own opinion, NOT Lincoln.

I agree Mike. It's disgusting how the liberal media will crucify our own soldiers for nothing more than juvenile pranks at Abu Graib, but will elevate a man who advocated cutting off the noses of his adversaries and also igniting gasoline filled tires that were placed around their bound bodies to what is amounting to almost Sainthood. He was no Lincoln and he was no MLK, Jr. South Africa is now a third world country with some of the highest murder and rape rates in the world. It's insulting to the memories of these leaders he's being compared to to even suggest he was in the same class.
