now not even the most myopic tunnel-vision warhawk can argue our adventure in iraq wasn't poorly planned.

someone shoulda anticipated this:  Link

An Arab version of “The Simpsons,” called “Al Shamshoon,” made its debut on Arab TV this month in time for Ramadan, a time of high viewership. The Wall Street Journal notes that Homer is “Omar,” and “is still lazy and works at the nuclear power plant.” But Omar has given up beer and bacon, and he no longer hangs out at “seedy bars with bums and lowlifes.”

the iranians aren't gonna be too happy to learn that sheikh burnous already has a reactor up and running, will they?

more importantly, i thought the point of this whole exercise was to influence their culture, not degrade ours.

Your original premise is flawed.

after careful consideration, i believe you're right.

while it's not impossible this is the accidental result of poor planning, it seems much more likely to have been done intentionally.

who coulda imagined we'd live so long as to see a reprise of the kinda brilliance responsible for sending bud mcfarlane and ollie north to teheran with an autographed bible from reagan and a cake in the shape of a bible as gifts for khomeini?

I wonder what "Omar" eats instead of donuts?

"Mmmmmmm...goat's milk." Drools noisily.

"D'oh! Allah be Praised!"
