TinkyWinky: We shouldn't have gone to war in Iraq, it has destabilized the region.
Barney The Dino: Well of course the region is unstable, there is a war going on! Can't fight a war without instability, Stoooopid! Nope!

TinkyWinky: Drops jaw to knees, rolls eyes. Decides Barney is nuts. Throws hands up. Walks off.

I'll try to unravel the goudian knot of massive absurdity later, after work. I have computers to talk to. At this point in the debate, I think I'd rather talk to them anyway.

        Brass tacks: Do you actually intend to argue that the middle east is more stable now than before the Iraq Invasion? Yes or no? (n/t) - Yeti - 2/28/2007 6:46:35 PM

        No one pretends the Shah with CIA help wasn't brutal and repressive. - Bowser - 2/27/2007 8:54:55 PM
