We're just not ruthless enough to go in and crack some darkie skulls like the British were. What are we thinking? We should have just taken a page from those Brits in their pith helmets, killers of
45 million people in India alone, and then of course there's the matter of all those annoying aboriginal people in Oz and New Zealand, the tens of millions of black slaves on British sugar plantations and-- oh, now, durnit, I'm gettin' impolite with all those inconvenient historical facts, now, shame on me.
Yeah, those Brits, now they knew how to fight wars against inferior brown-skinned untermensch-- er, "non-white people desperately needing of Anglo-Saxon civilizing." Yeah, just kill tens of millions of them, that'll teach 'em. Go and rape the women, hang some men, women and kids from tree branches to set an example, put some kids in front of firing squads like those dern
uppity Hindus back in India at Amritsar that the Brits taught a lesson to when they raked them with gunfire in 1919.
All we's gotta do, is just go into Iraq with guns blazin' and do us a little massacre of those darkie towelheads to teach 'em not to get uppity with us superior white 'Mercans and their Uncle Tom bootlickers like me, Mr. Shelby Steele. That'll teach 'em. I mean, it's not like this would inspire generations of hatred and a bloodthirsty desire for revenge among other towelhead darkies, right? I mean, those darkies are intrinsically stupid, all stupid and stuff in the face of our superior White 'Merikenness, they wouldn't actually be able to form the concept of revenge. And since the towelhead darky sand n***ers aren't an intelligent species, they can't put things together to figure out what's goin' on. Right? (OK, WSJ editors, have I kissed enough White racist jingoistic ass, yet? Can I take a lunch break? Shoo, this is tiring.)

What an idiot. If anything, the *one* (and just about only one) positive thing I can say about the Iraq War, or things like the Kosovo intervention in '99, is that we've thus far had the, um, "consideration" not to bomb the entire country to rubble. Which is sort of like a detective complimenting a serial killer for stabbing his victims only 9 rather than 10 times. I wish the WSJ would just stick to business advice and stay out of giving political advice. Hard to put a number on the damage they've done thus far.
