A little humor for the thread... [I know we are dealing with human lives over in Iraq and we all want things to work out...Yet, a friend just emailed this to me -- and its too funny.] <<...Why can't Iraq be sold on eBay? How about this. FOR SALE-IRAQ-CASH ONLY. Large ME country with world's second largest oil reserves. But, infrastructure shot to hell by previous owner, and successive UN sanctions enforced by US administrations. Also, now a magnet for terrorists. New owner has to feed and protect 25 million people. But, if you decide to trim the population present owner promises to turn a blind eye and not complain (please do discreetly). A real fixer-upper. Present owner needs to sell because he has to win an election in 2004, and Iraq is a drag in the opinion polls. Also forgot to tell American people true cost before invasion and occupation. Oh well...Get it cheap while you can. 5-day sale only..!!!...>>
