Speaking of history (and ignorance, I suppose), I believe _the_ reason
stated for invading Iraq was to neutralize their WMD. None found. So why
are U.S. forces still occupying that country? Isn't the job done? Shouldn't
we have ended this cosmic tragi-comedy years ago something like this:

"And so the Great Powers and the people of Shanklin, Isle of Wight, drew
their net in ever-tightening circles around the most dangerous threat to
peace the world has ever faced. They bombed Cairo, Bangkok, Cape Town,
Buenos Aires, Harrow, Hammersmith, Stepney, Wandsworth and Enfield... But
always it was the wrong place.

Cut to an area of smoking rubble. A van with the words 'US Air Force' on
the side trundles through the rubble. It has a loudspeaker on the top of
it.

Loudspeaker: Sorry Enfield!... We apologize for any inconvenience caused by
our bombing... sorry..."




....but always it was the wrong place....
