Only if we can also have a really big Michael Moore puppet and have it sit on Mikey's puppet head between flights.

Nothing like a big white Dove puppet to put the fear of Allah into the Islamofascists. That ought to do it.

I think we'll have "peace in our time".

Many were flown by our wonderfully active and creative Roots & Shoots groups.

Sounds like Australian pornography.

I like doves, they taste like chicken.

(just kidding, I've never eaten dove, but I'd try it.)

With a little modification they could be made to look like flying eagles.

Peace Cranes Can't Solve Thailand's Civil Strife (BARF Alert)
Pacific News Service ^ | 8 December 2004 | Andrew Lam

Posted on 12/11/2004 3:01:46 AM CST by Racehorse

Editor's Note: Bombarding Thailand's Muslim-majority southern provinces with millions of origami paper birds -- a recent move by Thailand's leaders -- failed because of the government's longtime neglect and continuing abuse of its Muslim population.

Last April in Bangkok, I saw a man selling birds at a Buddhist temple's entrance. Worshippers, he told me, often buy and then release these birds as a way to garner good karma. When I asked the birdman whether he would catch these birds in the first place if there hadn't been such a market for them, he looked confused. No one had ever asked him this question.

A similar question could be asked of the Thai government in its dealing with its Muslim minority.

Prime Minister Shinawatra Thaksin, in his effort to pacify Thailand's restive southern provinces, recently bombarded the inhabitants with white paper origami in the shape of cranes by the millions -- a spectacle heavy on symbolism but light on substance. The question: If the Thai government had been fair and just in dealing with its Muslim minorities all along, would it have to resort to theatrics in search of elusive peace?

The efforts by and large did not work. Immediately after, two bombs went off, another was defused and the owner of a tea shop in Pattani province was slain by gunmen. Assailants also threw grenades at the homes of two policemen in the same province, while in Yala, arsonists set fire to a state school.

[ . . . ]

The reality is that, paper birds notwithstanding, the rage of Thailand's Muslim minorities remains woefully unaddressed, and in fact the Thai government still treats them brutally.

Do these people have real jobs or are we paying for them to make puppets.

Peace Through Superior Freaking Firepower!

The only other possible way to peace is to sufficiently humiliate the enemy that they're so ashamed that they kill themselves. Making them wear ladies underpants on their heads at Abu Ghraib was a good start and it's too bad it couldn't continue.

These fools and their stupid ideas, like "War Is Not the Answer". The morons haven't ever walked around the block enough to even know the damn question.

I'm raising polecats for peace!

Well, actually the polecats are eating the food I put out for my cat. But I figure I don't have any choice and may as well make the best of it. After all peace is such a wonderful thing- certainly worth a little extra cat food.

When our enemies stop flying planes loaded with innocent men, women, and children into buildings full of innocent civilians, THEN I may be ready to embrace peace.

When our enemies stop blowing huge holes in our ships anchored in neutral ports, THEN I may be ready to embrace peace.

And when our enemies stop beheading innocent people in the name of their fascist pseudo-religion, THEN I may be ready to embrace peace.

Until then, the only peace I have for them is that eternal peace that comes from superior firepower.

Dear Dr. Jane,

Is there any hope that those dove puppets are extremely flammable? Please? I ask merely out of curiosity, of course...

P.S. - (oh, never mind - it had to do with you, chimpanzees, and bestiality)

They should put a white straightjacket on to symbolize that they're loco.
