Just a Thought....

This whole Newsweek controversy on the flushing of Koran down the toilet may just be a big cultural misunderstanding. Despite attempts to prove that books even as soft and flushable as Michael Moore's "Stupid White Men" proved to be unflushable [linked from Instapundit], it may be that toilet training for many of the Guantanamo Bay prisoners misunderstands the concept of flushing. In France, where I have run across fields of human excrement near caravan parks, just leaving the Koran in an open field may drive Muslims to riot. I almost rioted after innocently wandering into the trap and retching there.

And it appears, at least in Iraq, that sanitation and clean water has been a target of the bloodthirsty terrorists. Recent killings of garbagemen and targeting of water supplies in the hot and desert like environs of Baghdad have led people to rethink what the insurgent terrorists are really trying to achieve. I wouldn't drink that stuff that they consider water there either!

And I am sure that the Taliban and their friends weren't to used to proper sanitation either. With their dreams of returning the world to a 7th century caliphate, they also had high hopes of returning the world's sanitation systems to ancient ways. Attempts at searching out Taliban designed sanitations systems on Google have been fruitless.

I offer, that maybe the whole problem with these people is just sanitation, in general. Clean up the shit and the world will be a better place. Thank you George W. Bush for attempting to do just that!
