What do you propose?

Certainly not marriage!

You have something against marriage?

To you? Yes!

  
   What on earth are you talking about John?

Well, you obviously don’t support the war, so what would you advocate instead? That we all go home tomorrow?

I would not have rushed there to start with.

Well, given the mess people like YOU got us in, I suppose I’d start by trying to hand over power to Iraqis. I would NOT rig their constitution or setup permanent bases in their country. I would NOT limit the training of the Iraqi armed forces to light weapons. I WOULD show that Iraqi lives ARE worth something by risking lives to protect them(they are human beings after all!). I’d STOP human rights abuses. I would NOT rely on support from (or give support to) barbaric regimes.

Oh, and I’d also put B.Liar and the man-monkey on trial for breaking international law.

What would you do? Carry on regardless I expect?! Afterall, if it’s not broke, why fix it!
