So here is what we should learn from the Iraq invasion. |
|
1. We need to stop sending foreign aid to dictators who earn our support simply by saying they are against: communism, terrorism, homosexuality,drugs, or a Palestinian state.
2. The next time we (the US) wants to overthrow a regime because we say its leader has killed or otherwise abused his own people, we should count the number of subject, multiply by 2000 and drop bundles of money equal to $2000 instead of dropping bombs and destroying beautiful buildings, farm lands, and a peoples' culture; instead of invading and plundering, murdering, raping, and torturing the citizens of the nation we say is suffering under the hands of the identified "brutal dictator." We should pay off the dictator with something equal to the golden parachute of a top CEO of a failing company, offer asylum in a netural country and payoff top tier of the regime with safe passage to a neutral country. This alone would save a kazillion dollars and hundreds of thousands of innocent live.
3. Failing to do 1 and 2, we should form soccer teams made up of the top military officers in the US and the government we are trying to overthrow. Winner of the match gets unconditional control of the country at issue.
4. Failing #3, a spelling bee of for the heads of state should be organized. Last man standing wins it all!

1. Personally, I liked Saddam's offer to take Bush on in a duel. |
