7. Funny thing is, Repukes used a similar "story" to justify the war
implying "Saddam".

Basic premise: Guy walks down the street, breaks into a neighbor's house (your neighbor). Kills the husband and children, then rapes the wife.

Next thing you see is the guy eyeing you up.

Their reasoning was that you would kill that guy as soon as you got near enough.

My point was that, in the above scenario, to be technically correct in the Iraq theme, the guy was a drinking buddy you tended to like, so you waited about 10-15 years before reporting to the police what your drinking buddy had done.

Unfortunately, the evidence is now showing that we are the guy who broke into the neighbor's house (Iraq) and is now eyeing up the viewer (Iran/everybody else).
