Ahh-hhh... I see another issue has entered into the GO TO WAR-DO NOT GO TO WAR fray: the price of oil. Iraqi oil reserves are second to the Saudis... experts (in their infinite wisdom) are predicting (now get this) that in case of war, depending on whether or not the oil fields burn or not, and who ends up winning and how long it takes, that gas prices here could plummet as low as $1.10 a gallon, could soar to as high as $4.84 a gallon, or remain where they currently are at $1.40 - $1.60 a gallon (all on average).

Gosh wee... this tells me so much.

They haven't a clue, sheesh.

Tell ya what... as much as I don't think we should go to war, what about this scenario:

Warn the Israelis: GET THE HELL AWAY. FAR, FAR AWAY. Take as many innocents with you as you can. Warn the people. Let them know we're serious.

Nuke the Mid-East to slag.

Move in with our troops, claim the lands as the fruits of war. Annex the lands, whatever it takes.

"WE TAKE THIS IN THE NAME OF THE UNITED STATES, AND THIS WILL SHOW YOU WHAT WE DO TO PEOPLE WHO ATTACK US FOOLISHLY AND THEN PRETEND TO (1) BE OUR FRIENDS; AND (2) TRY TO STATE THEIR INNOCENCE.

Heheh.

End of the story, we win the oil fields (ok, so they're radioactive, hey, we have those funny zoot-suits we can work in; at least the oil is safe underground) and our wealth and power soar.

Anyone who blinks, we aim a nuke at them.

We end up owners of the world, and America remains the happy fat cat it is.

Hey... it works for me.

Great plan.

Oh, lets fire a nuke at North Korea while we're at it. Sure they haven't declared war on us (publicly), but it will make the South Koreans very happy.

But why stop there? Lets also erase the following countries:

China
Vietnam (Better late than never)
Cuba (Hope those Floridans wear some sunscreen)
The USSR ("The Soviet Union? I thought they broke up." Yes, thats what they WANT you to think!)

We should also place death--I mean "happy camps" in our Middle Eastern conquests for any captured terrorist.

Afterwards, we'll rename ourselves as the Fourth Reich, dismantle the Senate, Congress, and the House of Representatives, declare martial law, and enroll kids into military programs! THEN we can rule the world!!!

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!

I think CANADA should invade IRAQ, I mean we have been labels "The Big FRIENDLY Counrt in the East" we should go over there take out Saddam and his buddies. Hell, take out a few surrounding countries while we're at it. Then about a week later, when everyone realizes what has happened, they'll say "HOLLY $hit" "CANADA has SNAPPED" "They were such a friendly country"!!!
