Mr. Fish your wit is pure genius.  Nothing could exemplify current US foreign policy better.

Rusty is the Bush’s dog.  He’s been “chasing his tail”, as dogs sometimes do.  The theory is they don’t realize it’s a part of their own body.  He’s finally “caught” the object of his torment and killed it.  Only I don’t think Bush is quick enough (physically OR intellectually) to have pulled off the human equivalent.  Perhaps he should consult Rusty periodically.

The dog represents the US.  Have you ever seen a dog chasing it’s own tail?  A good metaphor for what the US is doing in the Middle East.  As you can see the dog has injured himself in the process.

What, has this one made everyone (including me)speechless??  Who is that dog!?
