A Conversation

Someone once told me that I am the master at creating conversations that might actually happen if countries were people.
"Hello?"
"Hi, Dick? It's George. How's it going?"
"Fine I spose. Little erked that the Wizards beat Cleveland but..."
"So, we bombed Somalia over night."
"Yup yup."
"Them terrerrists...guess they don't sleep much."
"You don't say-"
"...so you don't spose that bombing any country as long as we say that al-Qaeda is or was there will hurt the world's image of the US, do ya?"
"Image?"
"Yeah, you know. The press is kinda saying we're looked at like bullies."
"Think so?"
"I'm pretty sure that is the word on the street."
"Huh."
"So?"
"Nah. I wouldn't worry much. CNN's still covering that Jeremiah Wright character."
"Oh. Well, I just wanteda make sure. Can't be werrying all the time, I spose."
"No, you can't George. Don't you worry about the US's image. They'll still let us bomb people. Don't you let those sissies over at the BBC tell you how people look at you. I mean, have you seen your poll numbers? I mean, 27%, that's pretty good considering what you could be doing, seeing as how you're leaving office soon. Drugs. Prostitutes. Hell, you could buy Lithuania if you wanted to."
"That's right Dick. I've been pretty well behaved...no senioritis here, no sireeBob."
