BAGHDAD (The Borowitz Report)The government of Iraq announced on Tuesday that it would seek to build an international coalition to establish democracy in the state of North Carolina.
Speaking to reporters in Baghdad, the Iraqi President, Barham Salih, said that Iraq had reached out to regional powers including Canada and Mexico to launch a military invasion of North Carolinas Ninth Congressional District to protect the North Carolinians right to self-determination.
While many in the international community commended Salihs desire to bring democracy to North Carolina, some critics warned that the effort could wind up destabilizing other American states.
If North Carolina gets democracy, its only a matter of time before the people of Wisconsin, Georgia, and other failed states demand it as well, Muqtada al-Sadr, the Iraqi politician and cleric, said. Iraq could find itself in a quagmire with no exit strategy.
