I'm trying to think of war as entertainment. I really am.

I mean, as I understand it, we have a movie, a tv series, and a cartoon movie in the works. Somehow, I think I'll avoid all of them. My heart just isn't into death and killing.

1. That's exactly what Bush wants you to do. It's just a game for him.

2. I suppose the movie isn't like Catch 22, and the tv show like M*A*S*H*...

at least the cartoon will be a little more realistic when the terrorists start shooting lasers out of their eyes and begin building the "Giant Infidel Crushing Robot".

6. The cartoon is apparently a Disney film.

:grr: The kind you'll take your small children to in order to brainwash them so that they'll sign up when they're older. You know, after they've been pursued by the enlisters startging from their middle school years. :grr:

3. Then our troops should be paid like entertainers, somewhere

between major league baseball minimum and movie star, with the same amount of time off.

7. Our troops should be brought home.

We don't need to be in Iraq and the Iraqis don't need us there either.

8. Works for me, I was just running with the entertainment idea. n/t

4. I think it's jumped the shark, time to cancel

The war was a lot more entertaining when it wasn't too dangerous to have embedded reporters, you had night photos of building going kablooey, Saddam in his spidey hole.....

The execs who put decided to keep this show for another season show really questionable judgment.

5. You can't because you have your sense of humanity.

The VERY protected bastards who hold "the power" view all of us as mere objects to be spent.
