Jim,

"What is the definition of a PUPPET GOVERNMENT?

If you had said, 'MUPPET GOVERNMENT' I would have given you the entire history of Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy and my favorite, The Cookie Monster.

I think the biggest difference between the two is that puppets have strings attached to them and muppets are guided by some guy with his hands up your a$$.

In any case, I don't see much threat of the Iraqis being taken over by either. Although a Muppet Government would certainly be entertaining.

Hey in a more serious vein. I remember during WWII our GIs chasing the Nazis right out of France. Our troops were everywhere in France. They fought and died for the French in France.

If you told a Frenchman that their current government is nothing more than a puppet government of the USA, he would spit on you.

We should know, they spit on us all the time.
