Fastest Growing U.S. Import from Syria: Textile Floor Coverings up by 815%
So our dollars go to a more deserving country, no problemo!
Where's the hash? Or is it not popular anymore?
May I ask where you got that information?
There isn't one thing on that list that we can't import from Iraq.
That is because our supply of Persian rugs from Iraq is cut off. There is gonna be heck to pay in middle eastern decorated homes across America...
But as Syria is busy exporting Hezbullah fighters to attack us in Iraq, perhaps it will be a net break even. I figure about as many people get killed in America slipping on persian rugs as the Hezbullah will succeed in killing in Iraq.
On another track, if they export nothing to us at all, we will not notice they are gone when we retaliate for their attack on us.
