Never one to appreciate a good joke, and if we follow the argument that
literature (in this case, jokes) reflect a society, I have to say that it
looks to me like there's a definite dis-integration between impulses here. 
Extreme evil versus extreme childlikeness.  Definitely cute, but reflecting
something unbalanced in my opinion.  There are no adults.  When push comes
to shove, which side do you think will dominate?

Regarding the comfy chair, that might be why you support war.  It's just
not real.  The pain, death, destruction, chaos aren't real.  You carry on
about 9/11, but everywhere else, similar events or worse events are a
misunderstanding.  It's not real, so bring it on *over there*, just keep
Eric safe.  The gaia principle I think says that if you hurt one part of
the body, the entire body hurts.  Likewise, if you hurt one part of the
world, the entire world hurts.  In neocon macho terms, eventually the
flypaper will lose its stickiness.  I gotta go.  Talk to you later.
