Well, So Much for That ....

The United States doesn't meddle in the internal affairs of other countries, so why did we sink $1.9 million into trying to influence the Palestinian elections in favor of al-Fatah?

Could it be that Palestine's not a country?

How could that be? They've got land, a population, a government and a flag. Flags are important. "Hey, this is my spot."

"Oh yeah?"

"Yeah. It's got my flag on it. Do YOU have a flag on it?"

"Um, no."

"See? Now get over there and take your shoes off - we're doing a security check."

And that's how wars start.
