We came, we saw and we conquered. We told you to take your newly broken country, freed from the tyranny of a dictator we once supported, and make of it what you will – so long as you do it our way. We will decide your next leader as we have done for the last one. The one you currently pick is a partisan hack, and will not be tolerated. He only represents some of your people, not all. Although you have struggled amid the ruin to form a government time and again, we cannot accept the direction you are taking.

Take some advice from your “Liberator”, (a national leader who surrounds himself with partisan hacks, representing only some of his citizens - less every month) who knows your best interests better than you: Do not keep the man in charge. Replace him. We don’t like him, and we’re patrolling you country, not you. Remember Fallujah.

While we force your frog march toward Democracy in Our Own Image, we reserve the right to tell you how it will play out. After three years, we can firmly assert we own you. Do not mock us, or we will again unleash our Phantom Fury. Our army of Christian Soldiers will pound you weak nation into the sand and make glass out of you. Never forget: our God is a jealous god – and he wants your oil for his faithful. We will deliver; and pity the fool who says different.

Amen.
