“The same folks that are bombing innocent people in Iraq were the ones who attacked us in America on September the 11th.” — George W. Bush, July 12 2007
Zoikes! Someone call Scoob and the Gang. We need some real, honest-to-goodness ghost hunters here, because it’s the ghosts of the 9/11/01 bombers who are out to get the Iraqis now. The very same folks, but now dead. And bullets can’t stop the dead. And spikes and garlic can’t stop the dead, unless they’re vampires, and stuff. No, even a cursory television history tells us that the only ones who can stop the ghost terrorists are Scooby, Shaggy, Velma, Fred, and Daphne, with the occasional help of Scrappy Doo and the Superfriends. After all, what do the villainous fiends say at the end of every episode? “I would have gotten away with it, too, if it hadn’t been for those meddling kids.” Say no more!
Somebody reading this is probably thinking that I haven’t been thorough, thoughtful, careful, and precise in my assertions. That somebody ought to apply the same standard to the statements of our current president, and ask whether four more years of Scooby Snack logic would be a good thing for the world.
