What if Iraqis want to elect Saddam as their president?
Is it still OK to execute him in that case?

1. Maybe he could execute

4. Tom Lehrer answered that one best in "Send the Marines"
...might makes right
until they see the light
they must be protected
all their rights respected
until someone we likes can be elected...

What if they really want a Theocracy? Shouldn't they have it?

What if they don't want us selling off their businesses and resources?

What if they don't want us to have access to that yummy oil?

What if they don't want us to keep bases there?

What if they don't fucking want to ask us what the fuck we want?

5. This just in from the White House
The Ministry of Truth gives you the following answers to your questions:

Too bad. No.

Too bad.

We need it.

We need those, too.

In the words of our Fierce Warrior Chieftain, "Who cares what {they} think?"

Please stay tuned for today's announcement regarding the increase in chocolate rations.
