The current storyline is that Cindy supported President Bush when he called on our armed forces to storm Iraq and relieve that small insignificant country of its mustachioed pimp, the Butcher of Baghdad, the one and only Saddam Hussein, who is, strangely, the Joe Frazier to the American Ali.

Don't forget we did 'fight' Sir Saddam in the movie Desert Storm. If you don't recall the picture, in Desert Storm, American troops were sent to Iraq to rescue the people of Kuwait because Saddam decided their oil reserves looked appealing and like the dictator he was, he went storming in to overthrow the Kuwaiti government and claim the land and oil for himself. Naturally, his plan was also to rule the people, giving them the same sort of life he offered his own Iraqi subjects, under his rule and his ideology.

I've provided this update for those of you who were feverishly playing video games during our first trip to Iraq. Many of you obviously had no problem with Desert Storm II, because as video game players, you expected the next version of the game to be just as entertaining and perhaps even more of a challenge. (You were right.)

Desert Storm II started with an opening scene in Afghanistan, where our troops landed to chase the one and only Osama Bin Laden, a true villain. Osama accepted responsibility for the attacks on September 11, 2001, which destroyed the World Trade Towers. I agreed with our military action, though I was also confused that we really felt as a country that it would be possible to find a nomadic billionaire Islamic fundamentalist in the Afghanistan hills, especially when it took us roughly 2 weeks to capture Andrew Cunanan as he drove from California to Florida.

But regardless of the inherent difficulty of going into Afghanistan, I believe it was a good military tactic. We had world wide support simply because, even if Bin Laden wasn't 'directly' involved in the airplane hijackings, he did take credit; and if he's foolish enough to take credit for something like that, well heck, lets get that fool.

Now this is where the video game becomes difficult. We are now on level seven of a ten-level game. Not long after losing Osama Bin Laden in the Afghan wilderness, President Bush announced that we would attack Iraq. His reason was simple. He said they have chemical weapons and the ability to attack the USA at anytime.

A large majority of Americans somehow forgot that roughly every country that we do not consider to be our 'friends' has weapons, serious weapons, which they could use to attack us at any time. Cuba has missiles, China has nuclear missiles, and Korea has Elvis, who in his Korean incarnation has missiles as well. Not only did they forget this fact, but most Americans also forgot that a crazed country boy from Missouri destroyed an FBI building with gasoline and manure—WMD indeed.
