No amount of reality can dispel the terrible bondage of their stupidity

Instapudding, riffing on that brilliant behind-the-lines strategist, Max Boot, has a plan to lower oil prices.

Of course, if we seized the Saudi and Iranian oil fields and ran the pumps full speed, oil prices would plummet, dictators would be broke, and poor nations would benefit from cheap energy. But we'd be called imperialist oppressors, then.

Why, yes. Strokes chin. That's worked out so well in Iraq.

Later, Instapunchy objects that he wasn't calling for invasion, just to point out the "moral vacuity" of calling the U.S. "imperialist oppressors" for invading oil producing nations. "Vacuity," eh? Give him this -- that's a good choice of words.
