Playboy, Barbies, McNuggets, and Coca-Cola - bomb them with those, and the regime will crumble in no time.

I notice that they don't dig on Harry Potter and want that outlawed as well... and that makes them different from Christian fundamentalists, HOW?

Seems like for once the otherside has told us how to hit them.

What was it that Dick Gregory's said? Something like, "We should have to force democracy on anybody. When you've got something good people will steal it."

erratum that should read... shouldn't not should

Levis brought down the wall. KGB said the communists lost a whole generation to the Beatles.

Exactly my point. We don't need to bomb Iran with explosives - just deluge them with the stuff we take for granted. Drop McNuggets and Coke on them; when you tell them that's what we consider GARBAGE food, imagine the looks on their faces. Look what it did for the USSR. Look what it's doing to China. All it takes is a little taste of what we throw away every day, and they're overnight capitalists!

And, as an added bonus, it actually HELPS drive our economy. We can trade them food for oil, literally. Or jeans, or crappy Mossimo shirts, or whatever...

Being from Texas n'all, I think we should (politely) bomb 'em with tons of BBQ pork ribs (REAL pork ribs, not that McDonald's crap). Extra sauce please and all the fixin's. We have more than enough BBQ joints 'round here in Austin to do it. And I would personally hand-feed Osama bin Laden a rib bone. A WHOLE rib bone. No sauce. Just sayin'.

Whatta ya know - another Austinite Browncoat!

'Course, bein' Muslim, they're not going to take kindly to pork ribs. Better make 'em beef ribs.

Well, Mike, that's why I wanted pork! Hehe, of course, we could do a surgical strike

on certain muslims, if you catch my meaning. No need to waste ribs on the other good folk. Maybe they would like 'tater salad?

Actually according to one of our drivers who hails from that region, you'd do better offering them real texas homestyle chili.

Apparently a lotta folk he knows keep goats as a food supply due to their ability to survive the conditions, and when they get down to eatin em, one of the only things that makes em palatable is serving em spicy-hot.

While not really so much a traditionalist, he considers pork bad for health reasons so he keeps to that one, but it sure doesn't stop him from laying into some good tex-mex cuisine, so it's his opinion that you should go that route.

Not at all a bad idea, cause the sharing of food is a bridge building action in both cultures, and a universal gesture - some of my buddies in the KFORS deployment managed to overcome a lot of cultural and language barriers with chocolate chip cookies!

Heh, if you know anything about soldiers, you know the fastest way to get the full attention of every single one in range is the scent of fresh baked cookies, although the drooling and twitching is kind of an initial put-off, heh heh heh.
