Let us now praise OIL (Our Iraqi Liberators)

MICKEY Z.

I say it's never too early to start planning the predestined Iraq War veteran's memorial. Why wait till the bombs start dropping on Iran or Venezuela or North Korea or Colombia? The whole mood will be blown by then. But, let's face it: time is of the essence. So, for now, maybe we can just extend the oily-black wall they constructed for the Vietnam vets. (Can you imagine if Vietnam ever erected something similar for its dead? Look out Great Wall of China.) An obvious choice for remembering those who have done all the liberating in the Persian Gulf since 1990 would be, of course, a mock oil rig (sponsored by Halliburton)...but I think it might be more appropriate to hire the geniuses who created the mini-versions of New York and Paris in Las Vegas...
