No Cars in Iraq!

I saw yet another news story about insurgents using car bombs to attack security personnel in Iraq. This has become an almost daily occurrence. After thinking about it a bit, I decided that the major issue isn't with the feistyness (is this a word?) of the insurgents or the poor security in Iraqi cities. The biggest problem is with this is the cars. They are just too damn convenient to stuff with explosives, drive into a crowded area and detonate doing major damage.

So therefore, I am starting a campaign to rid Iraq of all cars and we should probably lump trucks in there too. It will be called "Iraq for a Car Free Tomorrow". Kind of catchy isn't it. Of course they will need an alternative mode of transportation. I am thinking bicycles or better yet horses. I don't think you can jam enough explosives up a horse's ass to do any major damage. If anyone has any other suggestions, I'd be happy to hear them.

I'm going to need some grant money to get some research started on feasibility, I figure that $100 or so a month would cover my expenses (bar tab) for the "think group" to get things up running. Let me know if you are interested in contributing to this worthy cause.


Remember it's Iraq for a Car Free Tomorrow! It's not as dumb as looking for weapons of mass destruction, but almost.

Always game to run up a bar tab...count me in! I get really creative with a few umbrella drinks in me.

Being a Jew from that region (not Iraq, but damn close), and a very happy American citizen, I recommend getting all Americans, Asians and Europeans (except the French) out of there, and dropping a few nuclear bombs (throw Iran and Saudi Arabia in the mix too). You know, start fresh.

I think constantly hearing about American troops being killed is really getting to me....
