That was a great thing to see all those Iraqis celebrating when the statue of Saddam was torn down (though I could imagine Kofi Anan watching and thnking “This would never have happened if we allowed inspections to run their course!”). That’s exactly what I was hoping and praying for in this war. I admit, sometimes the news coverage got me worried that Iraqis wouldn’t be welcoming us in the end, but I’m glad to now see it. This was never about what Michael Moore or any other assclown thought about the war, it’s what the Iraqis thought about it, and they wanted this war. They wanted to be free. To me, that more important that the WMD stuff, because there are so many dictators out there just looking for a kill’n, and I don’t see why we can’t just do ’em all in. If the U.S. military wants to form a group where we just keep going from country to country, smiting evil, I’ll quit my cushy job and sign up for that one.
Of course, America is celebrated now in Iraq, but we know that won’t last forever. We’re big guys, though, and we do things ’cause their right, not because we’ll always be getting thank-yous. Still, maybe as a way to keep other countries appreciative of America there could be a worldwide “Thank America” day where all countries celebrate how much America has done for them. I even started making a song for it. I don’t know what the tune will be, but hopefully it can have some sort of techno beat.

THE PRAISE AMERICA SONG
I love America!
It’s there for you and me.
I love America!
So let’s all sing with glee.
Without America there’d be no peace,
And the sun would never shine.
We’d all live in caves
And roll around in the mud like swine.
I love America!
So I sing this song.
I love America!
They are right when I am wrong.
If America weren’t there,
Death would rule the day.
The oceans would run red with blood,
And that would be so gay.
I love America!
So I do a happy dance.
I love America!
But I hate France.

It’s just a start; any submissions for more verses would be appreciated. Remember, this is a song for non-Americans to sing to praise America.
