Then, the hope is that places like North Korea will see us over there in Iraq doing a great job of kicking ass and setting things right, and subsequently give up their Evil Axis Membership Cards and start singing Kumbaya so we won't come do the same to them. In the meantime, the strategy would be a lot more effective if all the damn peaceniks and hippies would shut the hell up and get with the program. They're all making us look weak and ineffective. You remember what happened the last time, don't you? We lost the war, and Vietnam became a no-good Commie country. All because a bunch of damn dirty dopehead, free-love peacenik hippies messed with the strategy!

I know this all sounds dicey, but it *is* a form of strategy. Time will tell if it was *good* strategy.
