Just a little something I noticed. A recent NY Times headline declares: "Standoff in Najaf Is Aggravated by Rebel Attack on U.S. Base".

Isn't it kind of funny that these rebels have the same battle cry as the Good Ol' Boys of the 1860's - "Yankee Go Home!".

Yup. The good old U S of A. Pissing off rebels for 150 years!

Or perhaps, Billy Idol had it wrong when he sang that the Rebel Yell is, "more, more, more". He could have sang "Allahu Akbar".
