    Now we're going to go to war with China. You see, it was spam that so aggravated Iraqis into performing terrorist acts against the United States. Thus, in order to stop further attacks, we must go to the source: China.

    No blood for spam!

    BTW: If you point out that Iraq wasn't behind 9/11, I will make a giant whooshing sound in reply.
