You have mentioned this before to me.

The thoughts spawned from this, is actually the ridiculousness of some religions (if not them all) and how they create idealistic devotion and can create an "us versus them" mentality, especially where war is concerned and we stop treating each other like humans.

I like the idea of capturing their rock, and I like the idea of GWB as being the leader in Iraq. I wonder if we took a poll, how many would like to send him there to stay awhile and fix this mess he got us in to.

He could take Cheney with him and directly control the oil contracts and rebuilding from there, by-passing ANY investigation into their business practices or leadership.
