Brilliant Proposal

What this country needs is some creative down in the dirt back to basics
hard core real life pull no punches problem solving -- something we've
forgotten how to do it seems we're all so fixated on who to nuke just cause
we got nukes no point in having nukes if you can nuke someone nuke nuke nuke
all day long. nuke the moon. nuke antarctica. nuke a lee dukey duke a
buke... nukes on the brain nukes in spain nukes in the rain that lasts a
thousand years as the tears flow over this stupid row...

hey wait...

Stand back everyone! I have a brilliant proposal.

--

We could avoid all this war stuff simply by having a referendum in Iraq to
make it the 51st state.

1 We get control of their oil.
2 We get an educated population familiar with western values.
3 We get a hub from which to establish military and intelligence in the
region in a big way, gradually converting all adjacent countries over to our
values.

1 They get to be americans,
2 wave american flags,
3 eat corn on the cob and watermelon and barbequed ribs and
4 shoot off fireworks on July 4.

It's the perfect solution.

We run it as a referendum and you know for a fact it would pass
overwhelmingly.

Just send me the Nobel Prize in the mail; I don't want to go to Sweden.
