Study war no more

If our little quibble in Afghanistan has taught us anything its that you should never go to war with people who have nothing left to lose.

War simply plays into the hands of a protectorate. War is their national export. Anything that perpetuates war not only increases the price but also the quantity of their gross domestic exports.

I am not saying that they should, but if South Korea really wanted to get some results they wold lob a few fat ones over the great wall of China marked return to sender. I'll bet you could get them sombitches on the phone then.

And how do you get to be a fat leader in a starving country. What is that all about.

If you want to get North Korea's attention slap an international trade embargo on pork chops. That'll bring those fat motherfuckers to their knees.

Love and be loved in return

Journey to the bottom

Yeah, but this turkey don't have no fixins

It appears that, at least in this particular instance, America refused to rally around the dumb asses.

That was not a sure bet a couple days ago.

I guess America was more interested in getting to Grandmaw's house than getting Grandmaw exempted from airport security screenings.

You know it seemed kind of ironic to me that some Americans wanted to engage in a selfish act of terrorism as a response to America's response to the terrorist threat. An attempt to hold America's holidays hostage for no other reason than you don't want to do what everybody knows must be done is as vile an act as any al Queada ever attempted. If you have ever just barely caught the last flight out of town by the skin of your ass then you will appreciate the stupidity of staging a pointless stunt to slow the system down by even a few seconds.

America is at its best when it gets in line, waits its turn and endures petty and perhaps unnecessary hardships with a spirit of shared suffering and common interest. The answer is not always a protest. Sometimes the best response to a hardship is to turn to the person next to you in line, strike up a conversation and spend an hour making friends with someone, that in all likelihood, you will never see again in life. But as the memory of your minor hardship fades the memory of your new found friendship remains as a souvenir of surviving yet another petty slight.

You don't have to get special treatment to be exceptional.
