I think we should up the difficulty level and go after China. I mean, Iraq? How hard is that? Let’s see what we can do when the enemies gets to build more troops than we do. ---

I vote for all countries in South America which have names that do not end in a vowel. It really messes up the Americas rhyming scheme. I’m willing to make an exception for the “sometimes y” countries, but “Suriname” is obviously faking it. ---

Or how bout you come on down to NZ? It’d put us on the map, that for sure, and not up near Holland, either. Plus it’d show Helen Clark for scrapping our armed forces…it’s a win-win situation! ---
