As an Australian, I'd like an answer to a question. Excuse my Aussie ignorance. [View all]

Ummm. I noticed that the last President went to war over some slightly erroneous information and blew up everything in sight.

In keeping with that rationale, could we introduce a theory that the Insurance Companies are ruining your country and start a war with them?

I was thinking that it might be nice of you to perhaps, clear out the buildings first ..(well..except for the CEO's and Underwriters) and then send in the bombers and rockets.??

Would that be against any of your Laws ???? I hope not.

Thank You very much.
