The debate currently raging between different factions

of the American ruling class focuses on whether or not

the United States should pursue either a "unilateral"

or "multilateral" approach toward dealing with the

nation of Iraq.

But rather than embark upon a lengthy discussion about

these two unique and different approaches of managing

U.S. imperialism, I've decided to break each of the

arguments down into a sentence easy enough to be

understood by any first grader.

The "unilateral" approach as advocated by President

George Bush, Vice-President Dick Cheney, and War

Secretary Donald Rumsfeld is as follows:

Let's attack Iraq on our own and steal all the

oil for ourselves!

The "multilateral" approach as advocated by Senator

John Kerry (D-Mass), Senator Ted Kennedy (D-Mass), and

Senator Chuck Hagel (R-Neb) is as follows:

Let's attack Iraq with our friends and share all

the oil we steal!

There you have it!
