Instead of bringing shock and awe to the poor people of Baghdad, why didn't we decide to bomb Dubai?
I mean, it would certainly be a much prettier war, truly testing the destructiveness of all the weapons Raytheon, Lockheed and Northrup have created. Just imagine bombing the hell out of the Palms Resort, creating a light spectacle for the astronauts at the Multi-national space station, streaming images back down to earth for our enjoyment. It would be a wonderful display of light in the shape of a palm. I mean, who can beat that? Plus we could still invade for oil purposes, as shipments are made through the UAE on a daily basis.
I'm afraid our leaders made a historic mistake in 2002.
Oh, wait.
