"Iraq Keeps Shooting Us, We'll Stop Mowing Their Lawn: Great Moments in House Rhetoric"
This article comments on a beautiful analogy made by Florida Republican Ric Keller who was infact speaking in the favor of the Democratic Iraq withdrawl plan.
"Let me give you an analogy. Imagine your next door neighbor refuses to mow his lawn and the weeds are all the way up to his waist. You decide you’re going to mow his lawn for him every single week. The neighbor never says thank you. He hates you and sometimes he takes out a gun and shoots at you.
Under these circumstances, do you keep mowing his lawn forever? Do you send even more of your family members over to mow his lawn? Or do you say to that neighbor, ‘You better step it up and mow your own lawn or there’s going to be serious consequences for you’?"
While this analogy obviously has a few kinks in it he actually does have a point. But what kind of "serious consequences" does he have in mind?
