A Modest Proposal - Tulips, Holland and the Bomb

Given the sizable amount of hyperbole we all heard leading up to the war I felt justified in employing a bit of poetic license in this video. I know that Bhagdad is much larger than Hiroshima and Nagasaki were in 1945, but I also know that smaller "tactical" nuclear weapons have been developed. I also know that even to propose such an attack is repulsive and I want to make it clear that I AM NOT CALLING FOR NUCLEAR WEAPONS OR ANY OTHER BOMB TO BE DROPPED ON PERCEIVED ENEMIES OF THE USA. I was employing satire in order to remind us all of the absurdity of one of the arguments in favour of the war. I do not condone political assassination of any kind, but I do recognize that, while ethically wrong, it may also be ethically pardonable in certain circumstances. Saddam Hussein was a terrible man, but so are the leaders of countless other developing nations who haven't been "liberated". It's always been my opinion that creating a multilateral coalition to go in to Iraq to stop Saddam was a good idea - back in the 80's when he was gassing the Kurds and we had the moral high ground. The world knows the lies of the Bush administration, they knew them then and they know them now. This video is a reminder.



(I also know that I made a mistake on the number of dead in Nagasaki; but I only realised the mistake after the video was completed - for that error I apologize.)
