Saddam Assad (So Damn Sad)

Every Country England Has Ever Invaded (all but 22 countries in the world).

The Onion has a guest op-ed piece by Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad today. It's a great read, and because it's The Onion you know it's totally true.
     The only part I disagree with is Assad's argument that he is insane. Look back in history as to how rulers dealt with insurrection a thousand years ago. Assad's got nothing on all those dead white European kings and what not.
    Our problem is we have our culture and our values, and the Middle East / Central Asia have their culture and their values, and they are nothing alike. Back in the days of the British Empire the Brits knew how to deal with barbarians, they kicked their asses. Nowadays we want to play patty cake with the fiends.
    Since we can't engage in wholesale slaughter (that would be wrong), we are trying to track down the cockroaches one by one, and as any exterminator will tell you, that is a waste of time.
