Let’s make Iraq our 51st state!
We need an anti-war movement that is more than just a rallying cry against violence. We need more than sign-carrying protesters chanting catchy slogans. We need to support an idea that offers a solution for the bumbling mistakes of our president. We need to just make Iraq Our 51st State!
After all, what every Allah-fearing Muslim really wants is Mickey Mouse, Ronald McDonald and Coca Cola, right?
Yes, we are proposing a viable resolution where our government has none. By invoking Manifest Destiny, we move to enter Iraq as our 51st State of the Union. It is the perfect exit strategy with ample historic and legal precedence.
Think about it. Starting with the original 13 colonies, most of our states were acquired through armed conflict with Native Americans, the French, British, Mexicans, and Spaniards. Americans have a long history of taking property as spoils of war, and then admitting those properties as states. We could just add Iraq to the list as our 51st State.
Making Iraq our 51st state allows the government to justify this war. It helps vindicate the tremendous amount of resources thrown at an otherwise unworthy cause. Most importantly, making Iraq our 51st state ensures that the Herculean effort and sacrifices made by our troops were not in vain. So, what can you do?
Sign our petition for one. With enough names, we can compel our leaders to take positive action, (beyond the military kind).
Second, purchase and proudly display one of our campaign kits to help promote and publicize the idea. You support a worthwhile cause and are guaranteed to get some attention in the process. A campaign kit includes a bumper sticker, lapel pin and t-shirt. (The t-shirts are quite nice actually. 100% cotton and made locally in Nicaragua.)
Third, tell a friend or two. Send an e-mail, forward this link. Together, we can create a groundswell of activity.
Make a statement by speaking up. Take action. Poke some fun at the government. Add your name to the collective others who want to make a difference. Let them see your opinion on every car bumper, lapel and ample young bosom.
