<h3 class="title">Never thought of that</h3>

<p>The Daily Show brought up an excellent point last night.  Right now we're basically writing Iraq's story for them and not letting them create their own country.  For example, what if the French had stayed in North America and written our constitution for us as well as installing who they thought would be best to run our country.  I don't think the founding fathers and revolutionary army (liberals by the way) would have liked that...just as much as the Iraqis don't like it.  Since the French let us do our own thing we have a nice little story that we read about in history class.  We need to let the Iraqis do that for themselves...it's just cheap and takes away any pride from them if we run things.  (By the way, this is anything but an international effort...if it were the UN would be involved, for those of you who think the world supports it...they don't).</p>

<p>I'd also like to take this moment to point out that Bush is still an imbecile.  Honestly, he finally addresses the environment by travelling to the Florida Everglades last week.  It's getting close to election time, could he be more blatant?  I dunno, just watch the news any day of the week and you can watch this man screw up and trip over his own words repeatedly.  It really makes you wonder how he got through Yale. (*cough*thanksdad*cough*)</p>
