March Madness coming up! Place your bets

[Aoife]

If you cannot find Osama, bomb Iraq.
If the markets are a drama, bomb Iraq.
If the terrorists are frisky,
Pakistan is looking shifty,
North Korea is too risky,
Bomb Iraq.

If we have no allies with us, bomb Iraq.
If we think that someone's dissed us, bomb Iraq.
So to hell with the inspections,
Let's look tough for the elections,
Close your mind and take directions,
Bomb Iraq.

It's pre-emptive non-aggression, bomb Iraq.
To prevent this mass destruction, bomb Iraq.
They've got weapons we can't see,
And that's all the proof we need,
If they're not there, they must be,
Bomb Iraq.

If you never were elected, bomb Iraq.
If your mood is quite dejected, bomb Iraq.
If you think Saddam's gone mad,
With the weapons that he had,
And he tried to kill your dad,
Bomb Iraq.

If corporate fraud is growin', bomb Iraq.
If your ties to it are showin', bomb Iraq.
If your politics are sleazy,
And hiding that ain't easy,
And your manhood's gettin' queasy,
Bomb Iraq.

Fall in line and follow orders, bomb Iraq.
For our might knows not our borders, bomb Iraq.
Disagree We'll call it treason,
Let's make war not love this season,
Even if we have no reason,
Bomb Iraq.

Well, forty tomahawks hit Baghdad. Dunno the causalties yet. Might still win the picks.

My god, is this a game now?

We're betting on casualty figures? I can't even begin to express how I feel about that.

Why not invite friends over for some beer, chips, and popcorn and watch the "game" on the bigscreen TV?

Yes, a drinking game. Everytime an Iraqi is blown up, one drink. Everytime a US serviceperson is killed, the whole bottle.

I think it's time to sing out a bar of Alice's Restaurant. In three part harmony:

You can get anything you want at Alice's restaurant
You can get anything you want at Alice's restaurant
Walk right in, it's around the back
just a half a mile from the railroad track
You can get anything you want at Alice's restaurant

if you're happy and you know it,
clap your hands,
if you're happy and you know it,
clap your hands,
if you're happy and you know it,
and you really want to show it,
if you're happy and you know it,
clap your hands.


Now, I may not agree with the way in which ms aofe states her case, its glib. Being glib will not make anyone realize anything; and debasing her isn't the answer either.

Now now. Come on down off that soap box. There are only room for so many of us up there!

I believe the "game's" your talking about are people voicing sarcastic remarks at the fact a war is taking place, and that the causualties on both sides have the potential to stack up significantly.

What humanitarians CNN can be.

Not only did they broadcast Iraqi POW's, even though they are chastising the Arab TV for doing the same thing in Iraq.

But they were so concerned about one of the American POW"s, they interviewed his mother here in the US. Wow. I couldn't watch it....CNN is cashing in big on this war, under the guise of journalism.....and they are very good at it.

This war is like reality TV. Except people die.
