Saddam
I\'m Saddam.
Saddam I am.

I do not like you,
Uncle Sam.

Uncle Sam
Would you like
to bomb Iran?

We\'ll sell you weapons,
despite the ban.

Saddam
I would not like to bomb Iran!
Praise be to Allah, and Koran!

Those weapons are
against convention...

Uncle Sam
Never mind Geneva,
pay no attention!

We hate Iran,
it\'s our contention.
We have no qualm,
no apprehension!

Saddam
I\'ll give this task
to Ibrahim.
He\'ll make a plan!
He\'ll plot a scheme!

Uncle Sam
Business as usual
with your regime.

Saddam
My inner circle
is full of turds.
Is it any surprise
that we\'d gas the Kurds?


Uncle Sam
We knew you gassed them
in \'88.
We weren\'t concerned
\'til you raided Kuwait.

Saddam
You caused my invasion
to be abated,
I\'m now on
your list of
most hated.

Alright, you win.
I\'ll withdraw.
I\'ll also kill
my son-in-law.

Uncle Sam
With so little blood
spilled on
your soil,
your plot was much
too easy to foil.


???
Could this war
have been for
oil?

Uncle Sam
What is this sound?
What is this treason?

Reason
Don\'t mind me,
I\'m the voice
of reason.

Now you\'ve started
another war,
in time for
the election of
2004.

Uncle Sam
We won this war
without a hitch!

You hippies have
no right to bitch!

Reason
But won\'t this war
make Bechtel rich?

Uncle Sam
Who would you
hire to repair
Iraq?
Germany? Russia?
Or Jacques Chirac?

Reason
This debate is
tedious and may
go on forever.

Uncle Sam
To document it
in rhyme
is a tremendous
endeavor.

Reason
Perhaps it\'s best
to let it die.

Justification is
in the
beholder\'s eye.

Uncle Sam
What will
the media report
without a war?

Real news is such
a dreadful chore.

Reason
Shark attacks,
SARS, invasion
from Mars.

Terrorism,
sports cars, and
Hollywood stars.

Uncle Sam
Until we declare
war on
North Korea,
we\'ll have to
settle for this
journalistic
diarrhea.

Reason
This discourse
could go on, but
what\'s the use?

Uncle Sam
It\'s just a tribute
to Dr. Seuss.

(A big thanks to Maddox for the time and effort he spent making this.)

Hah, friggin\' awesome.

I didn\'t like it. Not funny at all. Racial really. I am Iranian and a Muslim, so I don\'t find that funny. Iran does not have \"weapons of mass destruction\" and isn\'t using nuclear power to make any. Yeah, I don\'t like how my president is saying the things he is saying, but why the hell would he bomb us? There is no reason to do so without proof. Any proof? Nope.

Thats pretty funny though a bit raciast.

Dude, calm down,take a chill pill, or just relax. What ever you do just do it before you go crazy. That\'s a good way to get people to hate you ya know. I should know, I was kind of like that. But I changed. just try not to get banned alright?

P.S.

Really? Could\'ve fooled me, with the way you were acting.

Why should people hate me over that... (won\'t say). Anyways, he didn\'t take the second to think \"Hmm... that might offend some people, plus Zera has an opinion.\" Nope, instead he went right ahead and acted like a.... BTW: I have an opinion too like I said before, X isn\'t the only one. He says his opinion of things comically, I give me opinion of that verbally.


EDIT: What are you talking about Jaden?

[Edited on 22-12-2005 by Zera]

Sounds sensible enough, but I don\'t think the \"it\'s a joke\" thing was an excuse or anything. But really, Zera did not have to act the way he did, it just seems childish to me.

His second reply was hotheaded yes, but he got flamed. I know you wouldn\'t reply with smiles and rainbows if someone flamed you, now would you?

Yes, that\'s what flaming on the internet is, being rude/crass. There was a difference between you and Zera though.. You\'d lash out for barely any reason.

I say just do it! No one would miss it...I mean except Zera right...besides it would be fun to watch it blow up!:devil:

It... was a joke poem? o.0
Meh, in a way, it was funny. One could feel offended by it, like Zera was, but I wasn\'t. More like pointing out the whole thing about Saddam and Bush and how foolish it was. Well... that\'s what I think. >>

To Trigger, I say: Shut up! That was really not a good thing to say. Lay it off.

And Zera, chill a bit now. In was not meant to offend anybody. Perhaps a few dudes-on-high-places. Right. Right?

So...you\'re calling me offsensive, when you once told me to kill my cat because cats are satanic, and that wasn\'t even a joke?

This joke isn\'t saying we should bomb Iran, Iran\'s only mentioned at the beginning. Besides, as I recall, that\'s historical. We did give Saddam weapons to fight Iran many years ago. The entire rest of the poem is a criticsim of the Iraq war.

And as for the post you referenced, Samsara: For starters, that was a long time ago. I believe I was still butting heads with Hollow at the time, and besides. There\'s a difference between saying that Bush\'s reasons for the war may not have been entirely altruistic, and insisting that a fake picture is real, and that Bush really does wear the ring, and is therefore and idiot.

For the love of crap Zera and God( the user) Shut up and stop flaming.
I in all honesty think this is an interesting thing Mega.X sorry if it offends you Zera but to be perfectly honest with you Mega x. you may want to delete this before this turns into a huge huge bunch of spam.

I don\'t care about Mega X.exe, he just wanted to make people laugh, and I didn\'t. And so, I just posted my opinion on it. I do NOT need someone critisizing (sp?) my opinions. Everyone sees things differently, so I can too. If I wanted someone to come back and get all technecall (sp?) about my opinions, I wouldn\'t have posted it at all. Nobody asked you to come and tell me what he was saying, I\'m not stupid to not know. BTW, everyone who backed me up, thanks. Mega X.exe, the way you have an opinion like me, I don\'t care about what you said about my country. You\'ve been my friend since I came years nearly 3 years ago. Also, my dad was in that war.

Also, I am not a girl. I am a 12 year old boy. I was not aware Zera was a girl\'s name when I joined Interordi.

Lastly, I only flamed (I guess...) because \"God\" made me angry. Like Hollow said, you can\'t expect me to post positvly after \"God\" comes out of nowhere and critisizes (sp?) my opinions.

Yeah, I always have a hard time getting over grudges, but once I do...watch out.

Anyway, I want to make it clear that I didn\'t even write this. I saw it on Maddox\'s webpage--it\'s worth noting that he has Zal\'s attitude and has Wind\'s talent to offend (about 10-fold, actually)--and I found it funny, and thought that people here would too. And even if Samsara wasn\'t trying to imply that I didn\'t think about who would be reading, that is in fact, exactly what happened.

I apologize for any offense felt by Zera, it was not my intention in the slightest. I also apologize to Samsara for both taking his post as an attack, and for misremebering our debate. (Your exact quote was in fact, \"They can destroy wildlife and they do. Yet people can stop it. They don\'t even have to kill the cat. All they have to do is attach a bell to the collar of the cat.\")

And I\'d like to say that I have changed in several ways since that One Ring topic, though I\'ve stayed exactly the same in others.

Anyway, now that we\'re done misunderstanding, let\'s talk about how many times this poem has caused Seuss himself to turn over in his grave.

I thing that it\'s about time we all stop misunderstanding and/or flaming eathother and actually discuss what the poem is actually supposed to mean, or whatnot.

Either that, or this topic should be locked. I think it\'s already done enough damage
