the very things we were fighting against to gain independence, we are imposing on other people as we speak, with our barbecues and our flags and our imperialism. "iraq isn't getting worse because of us, because now they're free." if by free you mean bombed and helpless, and was doing fine until we shocked the shit out of them.

life. a bajillion bombs, and the one we were looking for, we couldn't find. and then, there was the loss of life, on the names of innocents and people who had nothing to do with the war in the first place.

liberty. independence from the saddam regime? please. if the economy was doing better, we wouldn't have this war. but now, see, they'll be building starbucks and mcdonalds and wal-marts all over the deserts of iraq so people can feel better about their uncultured, unsophisticated, unadvanced culture, because they'll be giving in to capitalism.

the pursuit of happiness. dreams crushed after the bomb and the air raid sirens went off. one soldier dead, while a bunch of other unnameds die because of another car bomb. happy? the world is cynical at best, and at the rate we're going, we'll all kill each other until the mormons take over the world, and i'm not saying that there's anything horribly wrong with that.

so in all, boys and girls and ladies and gentlemen, happy fourth of july, and happy birthday, america. you're two hundred twenty seven years old, and you still have a lot of growing up to do.

and now, food and fireworks. go bears. and yay capitalism, to quote austin powers.
