You Pull Out, We Pull Out!

(Via Raw Story) In a fit of political pique, two community colleges in California have ceased their participation in a study-abroad program in Spain because the Spanish government chose to withdraw its troops from Iraq after the Madrid train bombings in March of 2004.

According to one of the trustees who voted for axing the program, "Spain has abandoned our fighting men and women, withdrawing their support." The former head of the Republican Party in Orange County continued, "I see no reason to send students of our colleges to Spain at this moment in history."

I think this is a great idea. Why don't we take it a step further, and cancel ALL the programs in ALL the countries that have pulled out of the "Coalition of the Willing"... hell, let's cancel programs to countries that never helped at all, too! And then, just to screw those anti-freedom bastards even further, let's just cancel all our courses in the languages of those countries. I mean, if you can't go there to study, why learn the language, right? That'll teach those pro-terrist, anti-murican, non-coalition-joining for'ners!

I just hope Poland doesn't pull out... 'cause that's the only foreign language program they'll have left... I mean, other than the one to Uzbekistan.

Idiots.
