Love poems and other poetry

	Mission Accomplished Let us wallow in triumph and glory for our great army has vanquished in weeks an enemy armed to the teeth with automatic weapons and grenades. Hand out the medals!  Hundreds of billions of dollars have held legitimate sway over swarthy desperadoes. Let us give thanks to God for only a few thousand of the innocent happened accidentally (and regrettably) to die for the Good Cause of democracy and only a few thousand more chose to be degraded to a pulp of flesh and uniform -- many of them probably volunteers. We know the people’s gratitude will flower as it has around the world when our freedoms have been forcibly exported. We are humble in victory for we know the American taxpayer can not bear too high a price and since the wealthy are the engines of economic progress we have only the pennies of the less-well-off to play with, but we generously pledge at least a million -- perhaps as much as three to raise your poor benighted land and people (poor, in spite of the humanitarian eyelet we charitably punctured in our sanctions) we shall line your ancient streets with fast food outlets where once were only gossipy old cafés; our mighty world-competing industries will be chosen to construct new oil production plants the like of which will make all gasp in awe their black milk will flow and all our auto industries will thrive to the benefit of every human nation. Finally we’d like to thank our media for their restraint and taste in not intruding in the grief of those few thousand families by parading gory death or mutilated children before our patriotic public. And to those unpatriotic naysayers, who raise the question of who put the tyrant there, I say - the tyrant's gone and look who won!
