So are you trying to deprive the 3rd world of our latest technological
refinements?  Why shouldn't Saddam be able to build the same cheap-shit way
we do?

On the other hand, it would be nost interesting to see whether his lay-in
tile ceilings are from Armstrong, Starkarm or Brastrongue (or however one
would translate that into Frog).  Meanwhile they all seem to be driving
Toyotas with machinegun mounts.  Thank God our multinational webs of
commerce, tying nations together in fraternal profitmaking and cooperation
between the haves and the gimmes, have prevented what otherwise might have
been a costly war.

OK, I'll shut up now.
