"TB, we'd like to talk with you about changing your light bulbs to compact fluorescent. It's a great way to save energy. In fact, save you money. I have a 100 year contract here which if you sign binds you to using them or their replacement. It's a great deal for you!!!"

What are you going to do?

Exactly analogous, by the way."

So, I take it that you see the US law passed by the Dems as oppressive.

Why, make this complicated? The US has thousands of nukes, and has had these for decades.
Under such duress why should any country sign any treaty with the US?
The same goes for Russia. And France, UK, ect. "have enough". When has any treaty been signed in the history, which there is no conceivable "duress".

Keep in mind that many have said we have too few troops in Iraq and in addition to this there are about twice as many Iraqi troops as US. Keep in mind the dangers these Iraqi leader face, daily and for years- not from US forces but from terrorists- who have actually in the past have murdered them.

And finally, why does Bowser think that Iraqis are such stupid and hapless creasures? For instance, couldn't these leaders mention in public *the fact* that they feel uncomfortable- and thereby have HUGE leverage in this regard. Or couldn't mention it privately with say the Dem leadership, or with Arab leaders. Why are these Iraqi leaders not allowing the Dems to have picnic of immeasurable degree? Why is it up to Bowser to imagine that this is a problem, rather than have some evidence that there is any truth to his claim that it is "exactly analogous".
