Iraq is playing with Iraq's ball, given to Iraq by Iraq Senior with the
help, oddly enough, of US Senior. US used to have a really big ball but
it's pretty much worn out now. If the situation were reversed, would it
seem peachy for the other kids to cream US so more kids could play with its
favorite ball?

Perhaps less biased than pointless, since it abstracts away from most of
the important real world issues and complexities.
