How about we work a trade?

U.S. Hopes to Rival Hezbollah With Rebuilding Effort - Los Angeles Times:

U.S. officials and private experts agree that the administration faces an uphill effort trying to outdo Hezbollah, which has a broad local base, well-developed social service programs and the confidence of many Lebanese.

We fix Lebanon, Hezbollah can come over here and fix New Orleans.

Hey. The business about paying for the bombs and then paying to fix the damage is no big deal - we're getting to be old hands at that. Or paying Haliburton and Bechtel, at least. For something.

But shouldn't we really finish Afghanistan first? Or how about Iraq? Or maybe the Gulf freakin' Coast.

Look, I'd settle for looney here but these guys are way, way, way beyond that.

And how many ways have I spelled “Hezbollah” now, I wonder.
