So, Bin Laden, Dubya, and Jean Chr�tien are walking separately along a beach.Suddenly, they simultaneously gatcg a glimpse of an odd-looking bottle buried in the sand. All three grab for it, and the cork dislodges, freeing a genie.
The Genie can't tell who opened the bottle, so he says "I'll split the customary three wishes between the three of you. You go first, Chr�tien."
Chr�tien says "I wish for Canada to always be fruitful and bountiful."
The Genie teleports them to Canada, snaps his fingers, and BAM! Canada blooms, from the border to the tundra, forever.
BinLaden goes next. He says, "I want an impregnable wall around Afghanistan, ten miles high, so that the Americans will never be able to reach us and the Taliban can rule forever."
The Genie teleports them to a refugee camp just outside of Afghanistan, snaps his fingers, and BAM! There's a giant wall around Afghanistan and its few remaining Taliban inhabitants.
Dubya goes last. He takes a long, long, time. The others grow impatient.
Finally, he walks over to the wall.
"Okay..." he says, "fill it with water."

"The best defense is not a good offense. The best defense is a terrifyingly accurate and devastatingly powerful offense, with multiply-overlapping kill zones and time-on-target artillery strikes." -- Laurence, Archangel of the Sword
