How YOU can share with our Iraqi brethren in the march of freedom

[underpants]

I think it is time that we, as Americans, share in their experience.

-Lose 60% of your job
-cut off (large explosions help) your water and electricity for at least 80% of each day
-Kill at least one extended family member
-Burn 10% of an extended family member
-At least one limb has to come off someone in your extended family
-To replicate the Green Zone, go to a gated community and ask the security guard for a ride home

1. It'll take help from the authorities

You have to have the fear, anytime you leave home,

1) that any parked car you pass might have a bomb in it,
2) that anyone you pass in the street might have a bomb strapped to themselves,
3) that your door might be kicked open in the middle of the night to be raided by foreign soldiers (and possibly an extended member of your family might be carted off and not heard from again).

They'll have to arrange it so that these things happen on a regular basis ...

oh yeah..

and there have to be a few gun battles in residential or downtown neighborhoods from time to time

Oh...and it would help if

someone would set off some dirty bombs so that you get the effect of depleted uranium weapons

Oh... and there is no governmental or other compensation for any of this

Oh..they could also cut hostpital capacities by about 2/3rds

and when there is water, if someone could contaminate it from time to time so that everyone gets sick

2. Damn I forgot all about sharing the water contamination experience

Thank you. All of that will help complete the effect.

4. Oops...left a few out

Your kids can't go to school or play outside because you are afraid to let them leave the house

and

any kind of aid agencies - Red Cross etc, all left the country 1-2 years ago because it's too dangerous

5. BUT the firemen still go to work

Firemen are truly a special kind of people.
