Why didn’t I think of that?
North Carolina congressman Robin Hayes has the answer to the Iraq quagmire. Just convert ‘em.
From the Charlotte Observer:
A weekly newspaper in Concord, Hayes’ hometown, quoted the congressman this week as saying that stability in Iraq ultimately depends on “spreading the message of Jesus Christ, the message of peace on earth, good will towards men.” Hayes was speaking to the Concord Rotary Club.
“Everything depends on everyone learning about the birth of the savior,” Hayes added, according to the Concord Standard and Mount Pleasant Times.
Maybe soldiers should spend their off hours proselytizing. Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition.
Just look how well it worked in the Crusades.

Happy holidays to you too, Cyn! It’s snowing outside but I’m tucked in all nice and warm with a fire burning and Meredith baking gingerbread cookies in the kitchen. Life is good.

Merry Christmas Terry, and may you and the family (and the dawg and the kitteh) have a healthy, peaceful Happy New Year.

Merry Christmas!
And, though it probably doesn’t need saying, you’re right: active proselytization efforts in Iraq would give al-Qaeda all the ammunition it needs to make this a real war….
