Thinking Ahead

Though it may be a little premature for us more cautious types, Jonah Goldberg already has some postwar plans for Iraq, including a name change, in which he deservedly bashes lots of folks, from Jacque Chirac to Terry McAuliffe (who I note hasn't been getting that much air time lately--I wonder if the Dems have figured out what a liability he is?--I hope not).

It's pretty entertaining.

Didn't see that one coming, but I like it! Of course, in the future, should things get out of hand we may have to reinvade France...

I gotta go with Shady Acres. Except I'd imagine there's not much shade in those acres...

While we're at it, let's rename Fr@nce, "Cheese-Eating-Surrender-Monkey-Land."

I'm voting for Babylonia. It would indeed increase tourism, the Fertile Crescent history loving types would flock there. Tourism would bring money, outside investment, and cross sections of the real world into contact with the new Babylonian peoples. Tourism would also put the squeeze on the rest of the area politically and economically. Demcoracies and free market economies on both ends of the Middle East would swiftly do for islamic extremism, what it did for communism.

No 17 year old worth his weight will commit a homocide bombing if he has to lay down his Game Boy and lose his last paycheck from Pizza Hut to do so.

And for anyone who is opposed to this plan, they can go still see the Eiffel Tower, and hopefully jump.

Adieu, mon ami!
