[cue theme music]
HEY EVERYBODY!!! IT'S TIME FOR DP'S
"TOP 3 LIKELY OUTCOMES OF THE WAR JONT!!!"
1. The US cripwalks into Baghdad unscathed, as every last Iraqi soldier surrenders peacefully- as is the custom over there (note: of course, the surrender only lasts until a better deal comes along- as is the custom over there...). A young texan marine is given the dubious honor of putting a ceremonial bullet in the head of the Hussein-bornes, and Sadozzy Hussein-borne's last words are..."Shaharazaaaaaaad!!!"
2. Highly confident that Sadaam's elite forces are no match for our finest, the US gets a liiiiittle too cocky. Backed into a corner, the one renegade Iraqi chemical weapons unit that actually did stash some nasty gas from my man Hans Blix opts NOT to surrender- DOH!!! This results in the old "Vietnam-esque" unloading of hella bodybags at Air Force bases around the country...except this time, we see it ad nauseum; it ain't shocking, it's annoying! "Dammit" says the american public, "DROP ALL THE GODDAMN BOMBS ON THOSE 'AXIS OF EVIL' MOFOS". And THAT, is music to D-Rummy's ears... US 'wins', but I'll be damned if the Lopez/Jackson/Raheem/Ramon's of our country didn't pay for that victory with their asses...
3. G-duB's penchant for untimely christian rhetoric leads him to crow enthusiastically "HA- Our God just kicked your God in the nuts, you beeeyotchesssssss!!! Jesus Rules!" This seemingly innocent comment somehow manages to capture the attention of the 2 billion plus Muslims of the world, who watch the US set up the first ever Christian occupation of Arab soil. The camel's back is broken when Fox televises a Toby Keith concert entitled "LIVE FROM BAGHDAD- "YOUR RELIGION IS MY TOILET PAPER'"; the sheer gall of the 'ugly Americans' is enough to mobilize world-wide Muslim support for a full-fledged religious war, which leaves the globe in tatters. World society regresses to the 13th century; POEM-CEES release an album entitled 'MUDFORDINNER'. nobody has any money to buy it...
ain't life grand?
enjoy it while ya can y'all...
easy,

The world is cold and insults your sense of justice at every turn. The forces of evil can sometimes seem so enormous that your only tool of retaliation is the force of your expression. You're not alone though, all ye who crusade for human empathy....
