Check it out, guys. Afghanistan is now free!

Yay.

I've figured out that the word "democracy" means "lots of dead bodies", but I'm not sure where the words "popularly" or "elected" fit in.

"First liberals bitch and moan about overpopulation, then we when we actually do something about it they whine about atrocities. You can't have it both ways, people. You have to break a few eggs. It's just that simple, folks."

The problem is, most people who watch the telly would think that was serious.

Apparently it also means encouraging an environment for the cultivation of poppies!

For a proper democracy to function, the masses need their opiates.

Good. I wasn't prepared to pay the shareware fee.

$9.99 for a pile of steaming rubble? I don't think so.

Oh good - we can all go back to playing bingo!

[sabotabby]

No, no. We must make more countries democratic.

[pretzelsalt.livejournal.com]

awww shit.

Okay - I'll get the gunpowder - you start shredding documents!

Viva la democracy!

We need to start with those damned Canucks. Yeah, their PM acts like he's in with Bush, but how far can you trust them. I mean, they let queers marry and all.

Bombing is probably too good for them.

[sabotabby]

Yeah, but we burned your White House.

These people make no sense...what does jesus christ have to do with afghanistan? And how did the subject of the conversation turn into some biblical theory class?

[sabotabby]

Well, I think the "white man's burden" comparison ("we have to kill/colonize them to civilize them") is apt. Not so sure about the US vs. Jesus Christ discussion. Ow.

I'm enamoured of rillifane, though. Somehow he manages to bring in Orwell (a Trotskyist!) to condemn Communism.
