Stop giving them to evil, nasty dictators. 2. Get someone to come in and clean my bathroom. It's a tragedy waiting to happen. 3. Give free samples of ricin with every Doritos purchase. If everyone has WMD, then we don't need to contain it! 4. Focus instead on who is the hottest presidental candidate. If you ignore the WMDs, they'll go away. (My vote is for Dean.) 5. Give Rumsfeld a big baggy of powdered sugar, tell him its the world supply of Anthrax, and ask him to take it away to the North Pole and guard it there with his life. 6. Get someone to come and lay some salt down in my Yuppy Apartment Complex parking lot so I don't fall on my ass. Again. This won't really help with WMD, but I wanted to get it out there. 7. Have an administration that treats the world community with respect, creates development opportunities in third world countries to help lift them out of poverty, and give everyone twinkies. That'll keep them from wanting WMD. 7. My 7 Step Guide for Containing WMDs.

Admit that you are powerless over WMDs and that your country has become unmanageable. 2. Believe that a Power greater than yourselves ? i.e. George W. Bush ? can restore you to sanity. 3. Make a decision to turn your will and our lives over to said Power as we understand Him (Bush again). 4. Make a searching and fearless WMD inventory of yourselves. 5. Admit to Bush, to yourselves, and to another country the exact nature of your WMDs. 6. Be entirely ready to have Bush remove all these defects of character, even if you don't have any. 7. Humbly ask Bush to remove your WMDs. 8. Make a list of all persons you have bombed, gassed, or otherwise harmed, and become willing to make amends to them all. 9. Make direct amends to such people or countries wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others. 10. Continue to take personal WMD inventory and promptly admit it whether you've got some or not. 11. Seek through prayer and meditation to improve your conscious contact with Bush as you understand Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out. 12.

(just to keep an eye on him?) Step 2: Ignore another dictator who has a record of selling weapons to other kooks and who has a whole bunch of plutonium. Step 3: Plunge your fist firmly into the Iraq tar baby so it sticks and you have absolutely no chance of getting it free to deal with any real threats. Step 4: Facilitate the ramping up of opium production in a region where the revenue flow is immediately accessible to terrorists. Step 5: Call yourself a "War President". Steps 6, and 7, anyone?

My favorite part of the O'Neill book is when he goes to Camp David where he finds proposals for assassinations lying scattered everywhere and Condi and John Ashcroft are singing religious hymns together. This administration seems to have cornered the market in industrial strength wackos. Prozac, anyone? Thorazine? Condi, Condi, Condi….
