Fafblog Raises Itself to a Higher Dimension of Fafbloginess

Possibly the best Fafblog ever:

Fafblog! the whole worlds only source for Fafblog. :

Q. Why are we in Iraq?

A. For freedom! Recent intelligence informs us it is on the march.

Q. Hooray! Where's it marching to?

A. To set up a government of the people, by the people, for the people, and held in check by strict adherence to the laws of Islam.

Q. Huh! Freedom sounds strangely like theocracy.

A. No it doesn’t! It is representative godocracy, in which laws are written by the legislative branch, enforced by the executive branch, and interpreted by an all-powerful all-knowing deity which manifests its will through a panel of senior clerics.

Q. Whew! Is democracy on the march?

A. Democracy was on the march. Sadly, freedom and democracy were caught in a blizzard and freedom was forced to eat democracy to survive. It died as it lived: sautéed in garlic sauce with a side of scalloped potatoes. Democracy is survived by sectarian violence and fanaticism. In lieu of flowers, please send a coherent exit strategy.

There is more.
