We'd really love to use your blood, but it doesn't burn very well
with the current internal combustion engine design (be assured that
our best engineers are working on fixing this). And, by the way,
we'd actually love to ease off the Iraqi sanctions because then
there would be a greater supply of oil for us to consume. But, then
we'd just have to invade someone else. Don't worry, the idiot that
chose Iraq to be this decade's weak scapegoat country has already
been sacked. You may have seen that we've been trying our best to
change the focus to some of those dreary eastern European countries
lately - these things take time though.
(Also, our cars don't really leak; it's just that those big engines
really do /burn/ all that gas!)

Because otherwise you bleeding heart leftists would have the wherewithal
to bore us all to death with these incessant whiny little speeches.
(I thought we instituted that "driver's license for the Internet"
program in your country last year; how did you manage to get one?)
Any anyway, think of all the extra time I'd waste driving out to the
Gun Club if I had to drive a smaller car with a wimpy little 4- or even
6-cylinder engine.

Naturally. As you said, not everyone can live as we do. So someone's
got to make room. Fortunately, some poor hapless group like the Iraqi
people comes along every so often to volunteer.

Oh, come on. They weren't ALL women and children. Our statistics
show that at least .1 million of those were men. And about 10 of
them were actually Republican Guardsmen (well, they didn't starve but
dysentery and cholera are more egalitarian). See? We're actually
hitting the target!

And not even very good at that. It's a real hassle having to drag
our [ cannon ] fodder kicking and screaming to the front lines every
time we try to have a war. Couldn't you all try to be a little more
cooperative in the future?

You scrub and you scrub but the blood gets under your fingernails and
then the next thing you know.... Oh, well.
