Ahem....
I think I'll throw in my favourite in the area of "Best Quotes from the Iraqi War" since I think it is, at this point in time, quite relevant.
This has been attributed to Dennis Miller, and while it does sounds line a Miller rant, it was however, written by one W. Wayne Schields of Wichita Falls, Texas as a letter to the editor.

All the rhetoric on whether or not we should go to war against Iraq has got my insane little brain spinning like a roulette wheel. I enjoy reading opinions from both sides but I have detected a hint of confusion from some of you.
As I was reading the paper recently, I was reminded of the best advice someone ever gave me. He told me about the "KISS" method (Keep It Simple, Stupid!) So, with this as a theme, I'd like to apply this theory for those who don't quite get it. My hope is that we can simplify things a bit and recognize a few important facts.
Here are 10 things to consider when voicing an opinion on this important issue:
1) Out of President Bush and Saddam Hussein . . . Hussein is the bad guy.
2) If you have faith in the United Nations to do the right thing, keep this in mind, they have Libya heading the Committee on Human Rights and Iraq heading the Global Disarmament committee. Do your own math here.
3) If you use Google Search and type in "French Military Victories," your reply will be "Did you mean French Military Defeats?"
4) If your only anti-war slogan is "No War For Oil," sue your school district for allowing you to slip through the cracks and robbing you of the education you deserve.
5) Saddam and bin Laden will not seek United Nations approval before they try to kill us.
6) Despite common belief, Martin Sheen is not the President. He plays one on TV.
7) Even if you are anti-war, you are still an "infidel" and bin Laden wants you dead, too.
8) If you believe in a "vast right-wing conspiracy" but not in the danger Hussein poses, quit hanging out with the Dell computer Dude.
9) We are not trying to kill Iraqi citizens. We are trying to liberate them.
10) Whether you are for military action or against it, our young men and women overseas are fighting for us to defend our right to speak out. We all need to support them without reservation.
I hope this helps.

Now, if you don't agree with the above, that's fine. Hope you like to eat grass, as that might be all you'll have if the US continues to boycott Canadian companies. And those US Companies that are pissed with us are not pissed because we didn't join them in the LIBERATION of Iraq, but because of the name calling, booing of their anthem and burning of their flags.
