Personally, I'd have staked Uday and Qusay outside US headquaters as a fair warning. Some of the old ways need to be brought back IMO.

please tell me this was sarcasm. or at least a momentary, misguided triumph of passion over reason.
otherwise, let's forget all this "civilised" b/s and just teach our kids: might makes right, and a few dollars will fix everything else.
it reminds me of jordan's conan stories: conan always said he was never so civilised as to give a man his word and not keep it.
indeed, timber, some of the old ways need to be brought back, but i'm think we mean different ones.
