Does Iraq remind you of "The Ransom of Red Chief?"
Can't recall who wrote it. I read it back in elementary school and now I have to go find a copy of it. At the end, don't the kidnappers have to pay the parents to take back the little boy?

1. Yes it does, O Henry wrote it
and as I recall, a couple kidnappers kidnap a kid and ask for a ransom...the kid is a pain in the ass , and the kidnappers end up begging the parents to take him back, and even end up paying the parents to take him back.

Right now, the UN should be saying I TOLD YOU SO YOU MORONS, and so should the Dems ...

we shall see what happens...in the meantime, too many die.
