We were told that we invaded Iraq to, in part, bring a better life to the people of Iraq. How have we done?
- They no longer have to live under Saddam Hussein, with his torture and killing of Iraqi citizens.
- There are no Weapons of Mass Destruction in their midst.
- They had a national election a few years ago
- There are no terrorists collaborating with Saddam.
Now the Iraqi people enjoy the best of the dreams of American conservatives. Here's a Top Ten (or so...) List of the coolest things about living in Iraq:
- No Gun Control.
- Only 1 legislative body to buy.
- A free market, restrained only by guns and bombs.
- No one watches Michael Moore's movies.
- A pure supply-and-demand system with low supply, high demand, and astronomical prices.
- People willing to stand in line and pay any price for gasoline.
- No trial lawyers.
- It's easy to keep the peasants happy: free air conditioning in every building.
- No Canadians next door.
- Gated communities rock!
- No credit card bills.
- Law according to a book of faith, written many centuries ago, as interpreted by whomever has the biggest, baddest arsenal to enforce the law.
- No illegal immigrants.
- An unregulated health care system where them that gots is them that gets; everyone else gets eaten up in the dog-eat-dog world of natural selection (that same 'natural selection' process which doesn't exist, according to many conservatives).
- No Pure Food and Drug inspectors.
- Huge demand for items containing lead and spent uranium (are you listening, China?)
- No liberal media.
- Don't have to waste money on infrastructure such as roads, bridges, sewage treatment, water treatment (clean water is for losers, anyway).

- You don't have to get confused by saying 'reform' when you mean 'get rid of'.
- No damned 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th Amendments
- Cops don't have to bother with "you have the right to remain silent, you have the right to an attorney...
