A lesson from Ancient Greece

Lysistrata

loosely translated to "she who disbands armies", is an anti-war Greek comedy, written in 411 BCE by Aristophanes.

Led by the eponymous Lysistrata, the story's female characters barricade the public funds building and withhold sex from their husbands to end the Peloponnesian War and secure peace. In doing so, Lysistrata engages the support of women from Sparta, Boeotia, and Corinth. All of them, at first aghast at the suggestion of withholding sex, finally agree swearing an oath of allegiance to the cause.

3. A nice comedy, however I believe the opposite approach would actually work better.

I've heard some athletes such as boxers aren't allowed to have sex before an event allowing their aggressive levels to remain higher. Looking at Bush, Cheney, Rumsfield, Pearle and Wolfowich I doubt these guys ever got enough. I believe this may be a reason we're in Iraq today, they had to screw something.

8. Those boys should have been sent to the shower to do their

business! A lot of lives might have been saved had 5-fingered-Charlie done his thing for all of them.
