[warning: some irony ahead] Thx to Tom.You might find this generally funny but the hilarious part is when they get serious:

On a more serious note, Republican Jim Saxton of New Jersey has proposed [...] restrictions on French participation in any postwar construction projects in Iraq.

If you will not let us break it, then we will not let you fix it! I don't know if my tiny brain can parse this enormous logic; better not try before it starts hurting.

Of course, it is a lot more easy for us Europeans. And no not because we can not grasp 11/9. The unfair thing to the US here is that we have a 'colony-heritage'. We already got to bully around larger parts of the world in our history. Must be hurting to have been left out on that fun: Helping out and Developing other countries does get you straight into heaven.

So. Make more helpless! (before we run short)

*update*: Somebody just pointed out to me that, the US is mostly filled with shipped over Europeans AND that they already got to 'help' the native inhabitants to a large extend.  Of course I do not know if St. Peter will take that as a valid help-count since they started calling the colony 'homeland'?  Any specialists that could solve the issue? Some sanctified Ausie maybe?
