Yahoo front page: Ironic juxtaposition time!
At 3:35 p.m. Wednesday, the first story headline:
U.S. drops one-ton bombs on Iraq targets.

The second story headline:
Bush urges Europe to help rebuild Iraq.

I can't create humor like this on a good day.

1. Variations on a them
Viet Nam: Destroy the country to save it. (to save it from godless communism.)

Iraq: Destroy the country to rebuild it. (To save it for god-fearing capitalism.)

Same idea; new and improved (more money to be made in it) rationale.
