of course you realize, this means more war

If you're like me, you're tired of hearing about Iraq all the time.

It's been, like, a year since we started talking about pullin' the thang out and all, and we still haven't banged, much less hit somethang.

I mean, Iraq is so last year. I don't really care what happens there anymore. Inspections, war, whatever. Double whatever.

I'm looking for the next big thing — who's next.

Based on all George B's frontin', I'm guessing Pakistan's going to be number three on the Rumsfeld hit parade.

I mean, just like with Iraq:

• There is intelligence that some members of al Qaeda are operating out of Pakistan.
• There is also evidence that Pakistani officials might have helped al Qaeda years ago.
• Khalid Shaikh Mohammed was captured in Pakistan, and Osama bin Laden is rumored to be there.
• Pakistan has a known nuclear weapons program that was highly condemned when it was first revealed.
• Pakistan has a non-democratic government in which a dictator took control of the country.
• Pakistan has waged war periodically against its neighbors for decades now.

So if you're looking for something fresh and new, please join me in chanting "Bomb Pakistan! Bomb Pakistan!" with all our freedom-loving friends.

We meet in front of the library every Friday at 5:30pm.
