Thank You, Mr. President,
I am sure we were just defending ourselves from the evil doers threat in Iraq... and Ricey thinks Iran is also a threat because they won't recognize Israel and needs to be thwarted with a 75 million dollar war...these wars have nothing to do with American Corporations fighting over money, oil, or business deals with these countires...These people must want to dress like J Lo, listen to Green Day, eat McDonalds, and of course most of all they really really want democracy...right? Ya just like the good ol' US of A where even a monkey can get into office and rich people with no talent are the apple of our eye!
