					<description>That Kissinger tome is a classic, though I personally favor his "How To Talk In A Deep Voice And Have Sex With Britt Ekland" (1975).</description>

					<description>If steps 4 and 5 never really materialize, then: 

step 4b - Stall around until Armegeddon happens.

step 5b - The forces of good (that's us) beat the stuffing out of the forces of evil (not us) because of our cleaver pre-emptive strikes against that axis Satan had been coordinating.  You know...that axis God told us about.</description>

					<description>Memo:
To:Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld
From: Fred Minion at State Dept.

Just a thought. (Oh, and I assume from the last part of you letter that this thought won't result in your boys giving me a swirly like my last memeo). 

What if we arrainge for the UN to take over. I know that sounds stupid, and I already hear footsteps at my door, but hear me out. We can make a deal with them to trade Halliburton's contract for them to agree that this was all our idea in the first place. I know Chaney will have a cow but we can get his boys another contract at least as good. We slide out, keep our fingers in the oil, let Camaroon, or Italy, or Spain or some of those other countries Americans don't know anything about do the hard lifting. If we change our tune midstream, Americans won't know or care, as long as it sounds like the Star Spangled Banner. The UN cleans up the mess. Other peoples children die, not ours, and we go on to glorious re-election. 
Just a thought.</description>

					<description>With a plan like that, I can't understand why other nations don't want to join us. What are they thinking?</description>
