Clever cartoon, though I wonder where Laura got the Ring (assuming they exchanged rings at the ceremony). "One Ring to rule..." indeed! Don't mess with librarians.

Now, may the day come soon when the Iraqi people (and others) can take such liberties with their own leaders and not only get away with it, but even take it for granted, like we do.

[The Lady of Ithilien]

"As a nation we may take pride in the fact that we are soft-hearted; but we cannot afford to be soft-headed. We must always be wary of those who with sounding brass and a tinkling cymbal preach the ism of appeasement. We must especially beware of that small group of selfish men who would clip the wings of the American eagle in order to feather their own nests...."

That was in 1941. Plus ça change, plus c'est même chose. (though ? spelling)


Here are my four favorite posters, and the complete speech that inspired them, an excerpt of which is quoted at the poster site, another at the beginning of this post.

Fly, Eagle, and 'may the wind under your wings bear you where the sun sails and the moon walks,' always.

I guess they just want to ignore the following reasons for taking out Saddam Hussein...

Records Link Iraq to Weapon Material
NEW DELHI - An obscure Indian trading company has provided the first clear evidence that Iraq obtained materials over the last four years to produce or deliver weapons of mass destruction.

The company, NEC Engineering Private Ltd., used phony customs declarations and other false documents, as well as front companies in three countries, to export 10 consignments of raw materials and equipment that Saddam Hussein's regime could use to produce chemical weapons and propellants for long-range missiles, according to Indian court records.

The shipments, valued at nearly $800,000, took place between September 1998 and February 2001. The exports - highly specialized supplies such as atomized aluminum powder and titanium centrifugal pumps - ostensibly went to Jordan and Dubai. But they subsequently were traced to Iraq's Fallujah II chlorine plant and a rocket fuel production facility at Al Mamoun, according to US and British intelligence reports.

The NEC case marks the illicit Iraqi procurement scheme traced to a specific company since December 1998, when UN inspectors were forced to leave Baghdad, the Iraqi capital. Iraq did not identify the Indian company as a supplier in the 12,000 page weapons declaracton it handed to the Security Council last month. The case may not provide the sort of definitive evidence the international community has said is needed to justify action against Iraq, but it bolsters White House claims that Saddam has covertly continued to attempts to build illegal weapons.

Washington has imposed sanctions against the former head of NEC, who allegedly led a technical team to Fallujah II in April 1999 to help install equipment that can be used to produce chemical agents. India has suspended NEC's export license, revoked passports of senior company officials and raided company offices and homes. NEC's general manager, who was jailed for four months last fall, has detailed the elaborate scheme to investigators. Further criminal charges are expected.

United Nations weapons inspectors have confirmed that Iraq has used at least some of the supplies.
