Like I said, we should "Liberate Zimbabwe!"

Such an action would be morally justified.

As an added bonus, it would provide the US with a perfect opportunity to export all environmentalists to their version of paradise.

I've noticed that the "gubmint" --- especially its enviro dept.'s --- has taken a likin' to the Stihl line of brush cutters.

If sales suddenly go up, that might be one clue!

So this guy wanders in off the street with this story of what we should do in Iraq.

First of all, he says, "We ought to declare our willingness to fight for the Liberty of Iraq!"

Laughter ... but I'm not laughing.

And then, he pulls out some charts.

Yes, I see, we must bump this one upstairs.

It's a great idea, and I'll share it.

He wants us to bomb the heck out of Baghdad, not only with bombs, but with railroad rail sections, cut to 5ft pieces, and with bags of concrete.

Really, the idea is ingenious.

He suggests that, to really upset the Iraqis' game, we need to bomb, with bombs, the upstream approaches to Baghdad, so as to cause delays in the flow of the rivers.

Downstream, is where we hit them with bags of concrete upon the steel sections --- we make a few dams, big ones.

Delivered by air!

In other words, we are going to make Baghdad into a lake.

Quote: "So much for the Iraqis' game at trying to draw us into the city; instead, we'll flush them out!"

It can be done; but then again, it's just a plan.
