The Adventures of George W. Bush

You decide that you cannot let France stand because they did not support the noble effort to free Iraq from the dictatorial rule of Saddam Hussein and cleanse it of Weapons of Mass Destruction. Or something.

You call Cheney into your office. "Hey Dick! France didn't support us in Iraq. We should make them pay!"

Cheney smiles devilishly. "Good idea, George. But we should make EVERY nation that didn't support us in Iraq pay. Let's attack them all!"

You thought France was the only one that didn't support the war, but there could be a few tiny Pacific island nations that you forgot about. "As commander-in-chief, I declare war on all nations opposed to the US war with Iraq!" you proclaim.

Unfortunately, 80% of the world's population is against this war. The ensuing conflict is short and decisive. You and the rest of your administration are killed, and the American survivors eventually learn how to speak French.
