Thanks for the memories..."I know it’s a fallacy * That grown men never cry Baby, that’s a lie * We had our bed of roses But forgot that roses die * And thank you so much..."

It was obviously Kennedy's fault. He was President when Qassim was assassinated and the Baathists first took power Carter's fault, since he was President when Saddam finally gained complete control over Iraq.

To tell you the truth, I'm really not sure who to blame, but I'm starting to lean towards Johnson, who was in office during the 2nd and 3rd Baathist coups. And you know which state he was frum. The EVIL one!!

Pretty, we're never nice, but we're usually not as bad as now.

I hate it that i actually support the CIA doing what it did there for decades when i compare it to what we're doing there now.

For a more satirical (and only slightly less depressing) version there's Schoolhouse Rock-inspired Pirates and Emperors.

Now I'm confused. Who are the good guys here? Maybe K****** can help.

Nice picture of Rumsfelt.

I wonder what would have happened if Bush had tried to sell the Iraq war by being up front about how the U.S. was responsible for Hussein's rise to power. "We made this mess; it's time to clean it up."
