Dude, it's Onion.com - but it's funny how some arab media network mistook some of the "articles" on it for real news...

Agreed. How it should be done.
All interesting commentaries, but I liked the message of the Irish one best, even if I don't agree with it's thoroughly religious overtones.
The Onion is excellent at providing much needed relief to a rather serious situation. It seems that humor, as usual, provides an excellent insight into humanity (as well as current events).

1 - How does it worry you? I think it accurately demonstrates the steps the US took to find another solution to war.
2 - I agree.
3 - Funny. I didn't know that you were the American government and were able to proclaim such an official statement. :rolleyes:
4 - It'll never happen.

I guess that makes every persuasive essay or paper a cause for worry, then.
The guy in number one seems cold hearted, maybe there is charcoal where a heart ought to be.

Correct. Whenever something is very persuasive, you should take a step back and see if it has any compelling evidence behind it, or whether it's just compelling words.
