Summary: LENNON SAID "GIVE PEACE A CHANCE," WE "IMAGINED" POL POT
Review: Around 1970, John Lennon, who if he lived in Vietnam would have been head of the Hanoi Communist Central Committee and if he lived in Kabul would not have lived, said "Give peace a chance." After Watergate, the "loyal opposition" led by Ted Kennedy refused to fund our "former allies" in South Vietnam. After that we "imagined" the North Vietnamese invasion and Pol Pot's "killing fields" in Camboda. All told, when we followed Lennon's advice about 2 million human beings were murdered. That's Communism.

Summary: I laughed out loud!
Review: This book is insightful, witty, and hilarious. O'Rourke certainly has a biased point of view and glosses over any argument that would say he's wrong (while insulting his opponents, often personally and unfairly), but he makes a strong case for war, capitalism, and freedom.

Some of his comments during the 1991 Gulf War regarding the differences between Sunni and Shiite Muslims seem out of date given September 11, but are interesting nonetheless. I wouldn't have expected someone in the Gulf at that time to see what was coming.

He does a great job of exposing the evils of communism and extolling the virtues of fighting against tyranny. Enjoy!

Summary: I wet myself when I read this great book!
Review: This book really goes into detail about why war is often a just pursuit. John Lennon was a filthy communist.
