Derek always was "mostly right". It was just that when he is > wrong, he is so spectacularly wrong.

Lots of time and effort has gone into this title -- the least you could do it try to remember it. Hell, we even had posters and special stationery printed. > I wonder where he'll be in the "War Against Syria". That'll be a tough sell. "Operation Syriaqi Freedom" would have low brand-name recognition. Also, "Syria" sounds kinda like 'syrup' . . . just not evil enough. Do you think we could get them to change their name to something like "Nazi Germany?" Bret
