Sun, I did think along those lines, but not in such an expressive way. <If you poop in your backyard in the name of war on flies, you may attract and kill some flies...but that does not mean (a) they flies were in your backyard before (b) you are being effective in your fight against the flies, and (c) pooping in your backyard was a good idea. > Very good. Nadine's point was weak.

Curious, then, that the "flies" were already in Baghdad before we showed up to "poop". Suggests a certain pre-existing arrangement, no?

As to whether it is a good idea or not, depends on whether the flies fly off fat and happy, or get killed in the "backyard". Flypaper is a tried and true method of fighting flies.
