While the failure to capture Saddam Hussein, locate any weapons of mass destruction or control the almost daily terrorist attacks might have discouraged a lesser imperial power, Americans are already sizing up the central Asian republic of Kyrgyzstan as their next invasion target.
Though CNNNN commentator Chris Taylor said that the 'teething problems' in Iraq should not be seen as any indicator that the war had been anything other than a complete success, he admitted he had been encouraged by what he termed Americans' "refusal to think twice" before rushing into another conflict.
Taylor paid tribute to the Americans' refusal to let even their prior ignorance of Kyrgyzstan's existence stop them from declaring war on the former Soviet republic.
"It's that sort of devil-may-care, gung-ho attitude from Donny Rumsfeld down that has made the US so universally popular around the world today," he commented.
In fact, Morrow's investigation discovered almost universal enthusiasm for a war on Kyrgyzstan. "I don't think they're powerful enough to be a threat to America," one person commented when interviewed. "But we should invade them anyway."
Another American on the streets of Texas said that the argument for a war was very simple. "Bush must be right. He's a Texan!"
