Wow... well at least this post inspired some thoughtful discussion, right? Not. I wish everyone would stop being so petty (i.e., squabbling over political party affiliation) and focus on the actual subject of the post, which is the presence (or lack) of civil war in Iraq. Come on, people!

I would love to see a bunny like that go psycho like the Killer Rabbit from Monty Python.
