Bush invades
A land with oil
But happily
Exploits the toil
of BURMA SLAVES

All his other rationales for war having vaporized, W and the neocons now justify the Iraq invasion purely on the grounds that Saddam Hussein was a very, very bad fellow. As indeed he was.

Y'know who are even worse? The despots who rule Burma, a country with no democracy, no human rights protections, no freedoms whatsoever. The Burmese government has been involved in narcotics trafficking, money laundering, and sex slavery.

Will Bush invade Burma? Hell no; they have no oil. Instead, he's giving them money.

Poor Burmese workers, who toil under serf-like conditions, make some of the merchandise sold at www.georgewbushstore.com. Fork over $49.95 to the Bush/Cheney campaign, and you can get a fleece pullover made in Burma. (The word "fleece" suggests an obvious pun...)

Last time I looked, there are still clothing manufacturers struggling to get by here in the United States. You'd think the President would throw a little business their way. Nope! He'd rather deal with the insanely corrupt Burmese government. Even though a trade ban prohibits the United States from doing business with Burma.
