Help us or die; US to Pakistan
Stardate 6417.80
The "War on Terror" really brings the best out in people. Look at what happened when it started. According to Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf, the US threatened to bomb their country back to the stone age if they didn't help in the "War on Terror"...
This was prevalent if memory serves. I laughed at the arrogance and stupidity of some Americans when the French refused to back them, and people were suddenly eating "Freedom Fries" instead of "French Fries"... and even now, how folks who oppose the "War on Terror" are labelled as terrorist supporters and perhaps even Godless for some unimagineable reason, as if independent thought was suddenly some sort of treasonous crime.
Funny, I always thought the old "help us or die" cliche was only in the movies...
