As American warplanes patrol the skies of Libya and American boots win the peace in Afghanistan, Iraq, Korea, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, Spain, Cuba, the Netherland Antilles, and more than 140 other countries, the international Interwebs recording sensation Remy unveils this timely song reminding all of us back on the home front about why they fight.
About 2 minutes.

In before all the paleos go bat-shit crazy that Reason is collaborating with an AY-RAB to produce songs that criticize the great American industrial-military complex.

I heard on NPR this morning that Obama has finally gotten serious about Libya: he's sending in the Rainbow Coalition. Their battlecry will be "We're infidel perverts and we're here to help you!"

Wouldn't the Rainbow Coalition be pestering the Gaddaffi administration to hire more minorities?

Patience, man. Multicultural paradises don't happen over night. There'll be a long period of exchange of bodily fluids required.
