No? Didn't think so. Stombringer - Stravo - Jegs... HANDS DOWN!
Ah, but the Kurds are helping us now in Northern Iraq, while the Turks
have been jerking our chains;

Yes, we'll let you stage thru our country into Northern Iraq!

No wait, we wont!

and so on so on..

Fucking ingrates. Mark my words, when this war is over, we are going
to remember who helped us, and who snowballed us.

If it wasn't for most of the world bitching at us I say the USA should turn Iraq (all of it) into the 51th or 51th (Iraq) and 52nd (Kurdistan) states in the union. :twisted:

Hehe, I just got this picture of Bush entering the House of Reps for a state of the Union, dressed like a Roman emperor and wearing a ridiculusly oversized cowboy hat. :D

Seriously though, if we gave them the ability to suceed after say 10 years, it might be a good idea. Of course, there's no chance in hell of it ever happening.

Yes, but that would entail going the whole way and providing the benefits of Rome (see monty python sketch) the benefits of the US don't really compare. (I can live without Starbucks and MacDonalds, I don't want to consider life without clean water and public order.) That's why wars were fought to join the Roman Empire...
