One flu over the
cuckoo's nest, looked down and saw
vaccine shortages.

Good, but not as catchy as the jump-rope chant from the 1918 pandemic:

"I had a little bird, its name was Enza, I opened the window, and in flew Enza!"

What I find cuckoo is that they always send these guys young kids out in the Mid-East when they know there are IED buried all over without some kind of detection device. (I know they have some kind of gizmo now. I don't know if all the soldiers have them). They don't send the bomb squad out in the states without that robot that detonates them first.

The author, Nicholas Kristof was on Oprah and he actually had dinner with a warlord; maybe he can get a peace agreement signed. At this point why not talk with the Taliban and/or Al Qaeda and ask what they want. We are already helping the people of Afganistan. Since you live close to Thomas Friedman maybe you can get him to talk to Nicholas about it.

The author, Nicholas Kristof was on Oprah and he actually had dinner with a warlord. I was half listening so I don't know where the warlord was located. However at this point of the war in the Mid-East why not sit down with the Taliban and/or Al Qaeda about a peace agreement. What do they want? We are alrealy helping the people of Afganistan. Since you live close to Thomas Friedman maybe you can get him to talk with Nicholas about it. Of course safety is top priority.

Thinking more carefully about safety rather than off the cuff maybe the warlord Nicholas had dinner with could talk to the Taliban sort of like a go between.
