Well, I just read this whole thread from beginning to end. Actually, I did doze off during some extended Teribus texts, just like in college. (Short pithy sentences, please, for us ADD people.)

As a Saddam apologist -- I think he's a sorry excuse for a human being -- and a Bush antagonist -- I think he's a sorry excuse for a human being, too -- my attitudes are best expressed in the song I posted above (New Iraq war song), with Mary's kind improvements.

For those too unmusical to ever read anything but BS threads, the chorus about says it all:

Red is the blood that we have caused to flood
As behind our brave troops we did rally,
And black is the oil that waits beneath the soil
Of the Tigris and Euphrates valley.

And to forestall certain predictable technical diversions, I know that the oil is not really under the Tigris or Euphrates, which have separate valleys.
