We aren't the ronin, though…

…we're either Seibei or Tora.

I read this story and the image that leapt to mind was the coffin-maker in Yojimbo (and the second thought was the coffin-maker in Fistful of Dollars).

At least the Iraq invasion was good for someone's prosperity.

Ya know, in any civilized place in the
world, suicide bombers would be a
wasting asset.

This reminds me of a Simpsons episode where Homer's newly-found obsession with "infant safety" leads to the disastrous failure of all infant-related businesses (e.g. cartoon character band-aids, baby crutches, etc.).

Upon hearing the effect his hobby is having, he cries out,

Babies of Springfield, we need your help! Please - skin your knees! Put dice up your nose! Let cats sleep on your face!

So... is it clear yet whether this man is pro-insurgency (i.e. smart), or a miraculous (breath-of-fresh-air) version of pro-life?

Once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

Speaking of coffins, I just learned that Othodox Jewish coffins contain no metal. FWIW, that makes them several times cheaper than the non-orthodox metal ridden versions.
