2. PROLIFERATION: TAUNTING IS ONLY AGAINST THE RULES IN THE NFL.
Let’s see if we’ve got this right: based on unfounded rumors of nuclear weapons in Iraq, the U.S. committed itself to a war that has so far cost the lives of more than 2,000 American troops and another 10,000 wounded. Perhaps 18,000 Iraqi civilians have been killed, and more than 6,000 military. This carnage has cost us $153 billion, and there’s no end in sight. Although he had no weapons of mass destruction, we’re told the Iraq war is justified because Sadam is a really bad guy. Kim Jong Il is no sweetheart either, and N. Korea is dancing in the end zone with its nukes.
