Why this war is good
- Stateside Hummer drivers can feel safe that the domestic Hummer has leather interior, not just a layer of flimsy sheet metal.

- The profits for war profiteers is way up! That means potential hiring.

- With so many young men overseas, there's more girls for us!

- Democracy is spreading like an oil fire. Soon, these freed up third worlders will welcome Iraqdisney.

- Most of Iraq's cultural material has been looted and is selling on ebay at reasonable prices.

- Since most of the world is now hostile to American travelers, Hawaii is seeing a boost to tourism.

3. Someone has to build those yachts.
Clean 'em and 'drive 'em, too.

What's a barnacle scraper getting these days?

5. But it's worth it to have
Americans feeling so safe these days.

It's a good feeling to know George is protecting us.

Why deny the people aiding the war effort a new boat or two?

4. That's funny. Not as funny as the rabbi who told me that God sent Hitler
to help the Jews, but still funny.

16. Are you saying our president isn't helping the Iraqis?
Well, what about the schools and the kite-flying and the electric systems we're bringing on line!?

Oh, wait , I think the kite flying is in Afghanistan, *sigh*.

12. We can teach other countries how to "fix" their elections
and not waste paper printing anything out. Democracy from the ground up.
