Lets move to Iran and edge the "flammable Uncle Sam effigy" market... |
|
Now they have that brand new anti-west president.
I mean, if someone can make a mint off of exploiting the war on Iraq with "support the troops" magnetic ribbons, what is stopping me from providing Uncle Sams made with hay and cloth in varying sizes to those motivated Iranians who feel the need to express their feelings toward the west?
Isn't that just capitalism at work? Or would I be categorized as 'giving therapy to America's enemies'?

1. If Bush and the neo-cons had left Iran alone this guy might not have won |
|
A lot of Iranians dislike the mullahs and their fascism, but if Iranians are looking to stand up to the United States in face of belligerent threats from the neo-cons, they will turn to the hardliners.

5. It's to Bush's advantage to have hard-liners in |
|
Iran's government. Much easier to stir up trouble with them if he wants to start a war with them.

I had an idea when the repukes were all over the flag burning amendment..I thought we could just burn bush images and leave our Flag alone. It's not the Country ..it's the bush regime and should be so NOTED!

I'd try to open the effigy market to more people by keeping costs down. I'd sell "stuff your own" Uncle Sams, cutting out stuffing materials and labor costs as well as dramatically lowering shipping costs.
I think burning effigies should be like the ideal democracy: the more participants, the better.

being female it just looks damn hot under those veils.
Let's wait until the fall when the weather cools. Buying early we can also shop for decently priced tickets, too.
