Preemptive Mac Attack

"I just read an article about the US bases being set up in Kuwait, and
the thing that jumped out at me is that these bases also have a Burger King
and Baskin Robbins. I never would have imagined, on the other hand, maybe this
is a secret weapon…we�ll attack Iraq with our junk food."

I think that he is on to something, yet we do need to consider proportionality
from the just war theory. Would it really be proportional to stuff the Iraqi
populations arteries with fat compared to the threat of chemical attack? Wouldn’t
this be an overwhelming retaliation or preemptive heart attack. Would this just
be a modern day policy of MAD (Mutually Agitated Digestion)? Would Saddam Hussien
catch on and force the human shields to eat all of the junk food? Maybe this
whole junk food thing is a gambit from the Bush administration. Could it be
that the proposed war is about oil after all? Cooking oil that is. I heard about
the powerful Wesson Oil PACs and that their high priced lobbyist are pressuring
the Bush administration.

The other question is would the peace activists consider this a viable alternative
to war? If so would they carry signs like:

• McDonalds not Missiles
• Burger King not Bombs
• Wendys not WMDs
• There can be Pizza in our time
• Sonic not supersonic fighters

Update: They might be on to Bush’s plan:
