What if.... we evacuated to Saturn?

I've been reading on the internet all the
reasons people are giving for keeping the
war in Iraq going. Some are, though sad,
quite humourous. But then, irony seems to
punctuate the current administration.

One of the more frequently stated reasons
begins with either "What would you do if
a band of terrorists barged into your house
and.........?," or "What if...........?"

I have to carry these 'opening arguments'
out to all of their logical conclusions.
Considering that someone is so afraid for
their lives that they conjoin Homeland
Security with desired democracy in Iraq
with mangled ideas of the need to force
democracy onto others and wanting any
fighting to be on foreign land, yet are
able to formulate such wild scenarios as
the two examples, must live in houses
loaded for bare.

Can't you just see yourself driving down
some neighborhood street and you suddenly
drive past a house with a high chainlink
fence all around? Topping that fence is
that curled razor wire? You can almost be
certain that the front yard is filled with
land mines. The windows have big sheets
of metal with rifle slots cut out over the
windows, making the whole effect one of a
secured bunker! You might even see a tank
or two in the front yard.

This is how I always visualize the homes
of those who start their reasons for
continuing the war with '....but,
what if ...?'

The movie "War Of The Worlds" is also a
'what if....?' scenario, but I don't see
a convoy of moving vans on their way to
Saturn. Do you?
Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt
your packing!
