Problem: Democrats want to spend money, a lot of it (even by Democrats' standards), and fast. Republicans don't want them to. They want to cut taxes, a lot (even by Republicans' standards). Gridlock!
Answer: Democrats need to find something that the GOP likes to spend money on. Since $800 billion worth of abstinence-based sex education could probably wipe out sex on our planet for good (and who really wants to do that?), there's only one good answer: war! Or, more precisely: more war!
We've been spending a monster crapload of money on a couple of wars for several years already, and it hasn't been enough to keep the economy from going off a cliff. Time to open a few more fronts.
It would be convenient to pick someone nearby (think fast, you Canuck bastards!), but we're in this to spend money, so our NAFTA pals are out for now. Politically speaking, it's best to pick a country full of people who don't look like us (or at least like our congresspeople). And if you really want to make sure the GOP is all in, make sure it's a country that doesn't like Israel. No shortage of those, it seems.
Problem solved! And you're welcome!
