Ok, I've been supportive of military action in Iraq for quite a while. I felt that eliminating Saddam was beneficial, due to his weapons programs, his support of terrorism, and his abuse of human rights. I felt Iraq and the rest of the world would be better off when Iraq was out from under Saddam's rule.

I think I might have been wrong: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A46688-2003Jun11.html


They call themselves Unknown To No One, but the five Iraqis bidding to become the world's next chart-topping boy band are not exactly famous. Yet.


I really don't think "freedom for boy bands" was one of the reasons the coaltion invaded Iraq. Is it too late to put Saddam back in power?

This is sadly the best argument I've seen against the war so far. ;)

Damned, Iraq forgive us. I had no idea this would happen. Maybe we could arrange another "errant precision guided weapon" and free them from this scourge?

There was this guy in my chorale class in my freshmen year in high school who I later found out to be in a boy band called "No Authority" from a newspaper article my chorale teacher showed us during my sophomore year.

At that point he was being tutored on the road instead of going to high school. He also was a surfer. I thought it was interesting how girls never gave him attention when he went to my high school and then, once he was in a boy band, he got lot's of attention from girls he never met.

Capitalism. :D

I wish those boy bands luck. It is only a matter of time before the feminazis get over there and do a real job on them.

I wonder if "boy bands" will subvert the repressed/oppressed female population. Is Iraq read for a sexual revolution?

Anyone remember Play? It was a Swedish girl-band a few years ago supported by Disney. (IIRC)

From the article:
...being so short of places to rehearse that they often have to practice their singing while driving around the bomb- scarred streets of Baghdad...
This is sadly the best justification for the war I've heard so far.
lead singer Nadeem Hamed, a 20-year-old biology student (said) "If people attack us for being in a band, that's terrorism."
Actually, I suspect it only counts as terrorism if the person doing the attacking is wearing explosives at the time. Good job that in the pop world, haircuts count for far more than critical ability.
