That it Is Not a Waste of Time Being in Iraq
(Saintly Level) - EXPIRED
(Saintly Level) - EXPIRED
And the Unbelievers, And the Weak, and The Genetically Foolish were
Gathered before Him. And they spaketh unto him Thus:
Is it Not the Case, that Attempting to Force Another culture to Change
their Fundamental Tenets is Wrong, particularly by Force of Arms?
And is It not the Case that It is All About Oil Anyway, so how come My
SUV Still costs Many Sheckels to Fill?
And He said Though Art foolish, for If the Tenets of A Culture Really
Require Gassing untold Thousands, and Religious Hatred, and a
Complete lack of the Most Basic Freedoms, then this is Not A form of
'Culture' that I Recognise. Furthermore, it Is not Force of Arms if You are
an Invited Guest of A Democratically Elected Government, that's For sure.
And the disbelievers said Fair Enough, but What About the Oil?
Foolish Mortals He said, Hast though no idea What Fungible Commodity
Means?
And they Spaketh Nay, they Had not the Skills of counting or Economic
Theory.
And He said Not to put too fine a Point on it, Oil has always Been
Available at The Cheapest Price anyway, as Guaranteed by Our
Capitalist Market Economy. If you Really wanted to Invade A country for
Its Oil Reserves, You could minimise Your Logistic Tail Hugely by Smiting
the Canadians, Who also Have Cheese. Iraq is about Massive
Improvement to The Quality of Life of Millions, which Is A just Cause.
And the Unbelievers saw His point.
This is Our Belief, Which will be Held True Until the US Tax Dollars Run
Out
