Invading France

Hermann Goering on the need to invade France:

I think it [the invasion of France*] was unquestionably worth doing, Charlie.

...

We needed to go over there, basically, um, and um, uh, take out a very big state right in the heart of that world and burst that bubble, and there was only one way to do it.

...

What they needed to see was German boys and girls going house to house, from Lyon* to Paris*, um and basically saying, "Which part of this sentence don't you understand?"

You don't think, you know, we care about our open society, you think this bubble fantasy, we're just gonna to let it grow?

Well Suck. On. This.

Okay.

That Charlie was what this war was about. We could've hit Norway*, it was part of that bubble. We coulda hit Belgium*. We hit France* because we could.

Oops! My bad. I guess that wasn't really Goering.

It seems that that was really little Tommy Friedman on invading Iraq.

The survivors of 4000 dead Americans and a million dead Iraqis thank him. He now realizes that he screwed up - or at least that his boy GW did. Words fail.

*Assumed names.
