Iraqis find solace with Dr. Phil

dr philYou know things have gotten really bad in Iraq when the chosen form of respite for those living in the area is to watch Dr. Phil on television. It seems that some Iraqis have been watching the show to escape, if only for awhile, the fighting and conflict that still envelopes the country. I don't know how much this actually has to do with Dr. Phil personally, I would think watching anything on television that has nothing to do with war and murder would be a welcome escape for the people living in that country. I'm sure if they showed reruns of Hee Haw they'd tune in to that once a week just to get their minds off the dark reality they face every day. Then again, maybe reruns of Hee Haw would actually result in more fighting. You never really can predict these things.

Must be a tactic they learned from Abu Ghraib.

No wonder bombings and death squad activity has been increasing in Iraq. Watching even two minutes of Dr Phil makes me want to kill something. Maybe we should export The View. The entire country would commit suicide and our troubles would be over.
