Attack Iran? Why not, look how well our other unilateral attacks have gone!

The drumbeat for a military assault on Iran is getting louder and louder, mainly from Bush and Cheney, etc, conservative think tanks, and of course the Fox Opinion – er, I mean "News" – channel.

And heck, why not? Things have gone so well in Iraq, and we've hardly scratched the surface of what Halliburton and all our favorite war-mongering corporations can profit off the war industry yet! I mean, c'mon, let's spur the upper-echelons of our economy with more death and destruction! Just think – we could probably triple the America-hating terrorist groups we've already helped create in the middle east!

Of course, all you crazy liberal types will whine and say we'll only be hurting ourselves. You obviously need to listen more to the great minds of our time, like Ann Coulter! And stop being so unpatriotic! After all, patriotism means supporting our resident-in-chief, no matter what hellhole he drags us into, right?

World War III, here we come!
