An email I received entitled "Field Guide to Iraq" shows a cartoon Arab with a gun, obviously angry, and the captions:
A.This is an AlQaeda terrorist in Iraq. He hates Shiites. He hates Americans. He is our enemy.
B. This is a Sunni insurgent in Iraq. He hates Shiites. He hates Americans. He is our enemy too.
C. This is an Iraqi who supports the Shiite-led Iraqi government. He hates Americans. He is our friend.
D. This is a Shiite militia man. He hates Sunnis. He supports the Iraqi government who are our friends. He is our enemy.
E. This is an Iraqi Kurd who hates the Turks who are our friends. He is our friend.
F. This is a Turk who hates the Kurds who are our friends. He is our friend too.
G. This is an Iranian who supports the Shiite-led government who are our friends. He is our enemy.
H. This is a Syrian Sunni foreign fighter in Iraq. He hates the Iranians who are our enemies, and the Iraqi government who are our friends. He is our enemy.
I. This is a Sunni from a moderate Arab country. He hates Iran. He hates America. He is our friend.
J. This is a Shiite who works for the Iraqi government who are our friends. He supports the Iranians who are our enemies. He hates Americans. He is our friend.

Question: Who do you shoot?

Answer: Definitely shoot A, H, and B. Sometimes shoot C and D. Don't shoot E, J, F and I. Try not to shoot G, but if you do, don't worry about it.

Now that's all cleared up, don't you feel better?

Haha, it made me lol. Well done.

You explain that to Bush. Go ahead, I dare you. :p

He would say you could recognize the terrorist by the horns growing out of his head.

I'm only surprised how many groups they claimed as friends.

He'll probably try to drown him out by turning on Sesame Street and setting the volume to max.

Only if you are able to bestow immortality on me....it'll take a very very long time....

Both amusing and depressing at the same time.

*wonders whether to point out that it's friend, decides not to and leaves without contributing in the slightest*

LOL! Yeah...bit hard to remember that when under fire!

I think perhaps the best rule is along the lines of - fuck it...shoot 'em all now and we'll deal with the questions afterwards...

Lol
