I like the guy holding up the poster that says "Bay Bay Sadam" cute!
Thought bubble: "Geez Louise, I come all this way just to run into my freakin' ol' lady." Yes dear. Yes, dear. Yes, you're right. Uh huh. Yes dear...
Gee; Have the same people who run our (American) institutions of higher indoctrination (Colleges, Univeristies) also been running the equivalent institutions over there in Iraq?
Oh; wait...; I suppose they have been, haven't they?
Will they continue to mould young minds like this both at home and abroad?
Gee; I dunno.
Would anyone like to venture a guess?
