>Hey! I posted that about a week ago (see "The Good Humour Man Cometh")! You tryin' to horn in on my act, kid!? !{)

Sorry. Didn't see it.


>What was so "pro-war" about it? I thought it a fine anti-war message: all the pricks being shown, the whole thing depicted >as a big party by the U.S. leaders, Bush being "second-fiddle" to the more experienced Powell, all that ridiculous firepower >to hit one flea-like opponent, and the climax: smashing a quarter of the planet to kill one guy.

Apart from the planet being quartered (which could mean "blow 'em off the map"), I thought that, while amusing, the piece showed bombs targeting bin Laden alone, which is clearly not the case. No dead civilians, shattered towns, Red Cross and food warehouse destruction; just antiseptic bombing fun, which ends with Ossama getting his, and the tag "You can run but you can't hide."

Now, if the whole thing is an incredibly dry parody of what I just wrote, then allow me to wipe the egg off my face.
