[Vision2020] Iraq on the brink of civil war?

Well . . .

You know, Joan.  Since there is no oil in Rwanda and since slavery is 
unconstitutional, liberation of Rwanda seemed fiscally inappropriate and simply 
not worth the effort.

I wonder what the Chief Financial Officer of (K)ri$t (K)ir(k) wouild have to 
say.

Take care,

Tom Hansen
