Here's a sample:

Top Ten Reasons Why Iraq Should Be Our 51st State:

1. We spend over $5.6 billion dollars a month in Iraq, which is more Federal aid than any current state is receiving.

2. At $5.6 billion dollars, we could pay each and every Iraqi $215 a month, ten times what their average income is now. How could they complain?

3. With an estimated 250,000 American citizens currently residing in Iraq it is already nearly half the population size of Wyoming.

4. Fighting would have to stop because the U.S. cannot declare war on itself.

I'd rather take Mexico, Guam, Virgin Islands or Puerto Rico as the next state...

With the way this fiasco has gone, I'd say job security for something within the armed forces field has a very reliable future! If that doesn't draw people to move there, I don't know what will. Of course, that is until a bunch of Iranians jump over the border and join the armed forces but for 1/8 of the pay. THEY TOOK ER' JOOOOBS!
