The Alliance of Free Blogs has a new “Precision Guided Humor Assignment” on the jobs that france should be allowed to participate in as part of the reconstruction effort. I have several:

1. So that unemployment will decrease, the french will provide a fully-manned beaurocracy that will only work 35 hours a week, and will be completely divorced from all reality. Fortunately, since the beaurocrats won’t even know the language, the people will be able to completely ignore them and go on about creating a vibrant free-market economy with limited government.


2. Provide more military equipment at steeply discounted rates. Since this is “quality” french equipment, the Iraqi Army can use it for target practice. (Unless it is a rifle, in which case it should be ok since it was only dropped once.)


3. Take secret communications and provide them to enemies, like Iran and Syria. Of course, since they’re already doing this, there should be no problem continuing their “service.”


4. In order to promote diplomacy, they can provide gallons of smelly french perfume to cover up the camel smell that they seem to object to. That is why the UN got out wasn’t it? Just too smelly for them?


5. As a way giving the Iraqi people self-confidence, the french can volunteer to make the kaffiyeh the new fashion statement of the 21st century.

Probably the best job we can give the french? Make them come in and enforce their own religous freedom laws in Iraq. Not only would it suppress the Islamists, the french would immediately receive a giant bullseye from the Islamists and we can get on with the real job of working with the Iraqi people.
