Ridicule is a creative force maybe ... Sheeshva the Destroyer, providing in Her rubble building blocks for new construction .... and not unkind when applied appropriately, i.e. beginning and ending with ridicule of oneself

... that last might be written in when it comes time for a reform branch of the radical agnostics

So, get an exciting topic started.

How about:

Should the US should nuke the entire Middle East, turn the sand into glass, and wipe out both the Israelis and Palestinians?

We would have to take some heat from the world. It would be ferocious for about a week, probably involving an Arab oil boycott for about a month until they realize what happens to their lifestyles without our money, but the whole thing would die out in six to twelve months. After all, we're still the world's only super power -- what can the world do> And that will be a lot less time than we'll be dealing with this mess if we let it go on.

And a lot cheaper -- think of all the money we send to Israel and how much that could support Social Security.

What do you think. Should Bush order the strike?
