1/25 $1.5 billion for a new embassy in Iraq. What the FUCK?
\_ Holtzmann's shields are expensive.
\_ And the "defensive" lasguns
\_ Shields are suicide in Irakkis anyway. They'll just end up
bringing a worm.
\_ Then we can use the family atomics.
\_ So...has Dune been translated into Arabic? I somehow
hope not.
\_ Frank Herbert is Muslim, so probably.
\_ frank herbert is a was now, he died
20 years ago, and was not muslim.
\_ ??? Where did you find this? And according to
the most recent Dune FAQ, no, Dune has not been
translated into Arabic (at least not officially),
but is has been translated into Turkish.
\_ The last catfight here over Herbert and Islam was
about a year ago so I guess we're due.
\_ I supported the action in Iraq, but this is beyond ridiculous.
\_ It's going to contructed by Haliburton, right? $1.5B might not
be enough.
\_ no it is not ridiculous. The embassey will be 1/2 the size of
Texas and it'll have enough space for an airport and
everything else, like McD and Walmart.
\_ When Iraqis can start being blown up at Home Depots and
Burger Kings, then they will truly be free. |
