Dennis Miller on Iraq

Dennis Miller on Iraq

By Dennis Miller

All the rhetoric on whether or not we should go to war against Iraq has got my insane
little brain spinning like a roulette wheel. I enjoy reading opinions from both sides but I
have detected a hint of confusion from some of you.

As I was reading the paper recently, I was reminded of the best advice someone ever
gave me. He told me about the kiss method ("keep it simple, stupid!) So, with this as a
theme, I'd like to apply this theory for those who don't quite get it. My hope is that we
can simplify things a bit and recognize a few important facts.

Here are 10 things to consider when voicing an opinion on this important issue:

1) Out of President Bush and Saddam Hussein ... Hussein is the bad guy.

2) If you have faith in the United Nations to do the right thing keep this in mind, they
have Libya heading the committee on human rights and Iraq heading the global
disarmament committee. Do your own math here.

3) If you use Google Search and type in "French military victories," your reply will be "did
you mean French military defeats?"

4) If your only anti-war slogan is "no war for oil," sue your school district for allowing you
to slip through the cracks and robbing you of the education you deserve.

5) Saddam and Bin Laden will not seek United Nations approval before they try to kill US.

6) Despite common belief, Martin Sheen is not the President. He plays one on TV.

7) Even if you are anti-war, you are still an "infidel!" And Bin Laden wants YOU dead,
too.

8) If you believe in a "vast right-wing conspiracy" but not in the danger that Hussein
poses, quit hanging out with the Dell computer dude.

9) We are not trying to liberate them.

10) Whether you are for military action or against it, our young men and women
overseas are fighting for us to defend our right to speak out. We all need to support
them without reservation
