I would like you all to know that we, here at A Bird’s Nest, have come up with the solution to the Israel/Lebanon/Syria/Iran(/U.S./Britain/insert nation here) conflict.
Actually, to be strictly truthful, we have overheard the solution. It was Grandma Secretary who came up with it. And, you know, thank god for her trenchant political analysis, because without it, we could be in some serious trouble.
- Step 1. Sterilize them.
- Step 2. Give them Mexico.
- Step 3. Peace!
Now, I’m not quite clear on who “them” is, in this particular case. I’m guessing it’s the Palestinians, because Grandma Secretary is nothing if not Modern, and sterilizing Jews is just so 1939.

I’m sorry, but I really dont want a bunch of hot-headed steralized people just across the border from us. We should leave them in the desert where they belong. Sheesh.

My favorite solution came from a 2001 article in the Onion: “God Re-Floods Middle East.”

I look forward to the day when I become a Granma Secretary and am able to say any old thing that pops into my head, no matter how inane or offensive it may be.
Of course, around here, no one would even notice.
