1. The White House would cite it as proof of the need to make tax cuts 
permanent;
2. Ann Coulter would blame Clinton for it;
3. KBR would receive some sort of contract to deal with it;
4. The Marines would note that had their forward units been equipped with V-22
   Ospreys, they would have been more able to react;
5. ABC, NBC and CBS would launch reality TV shows placing average guys/gals in
   combat situations, and/or relationships with Israelis and/or Syrians;
6. Fox would run "blooper" shows of Syrian weapons mishaps;
7. Yusuf Islam (nee Cat Stevens) would change his name to reflect sympathy 
for the Israelis
   (to Steven Katz);
8. The National Inquirer would run the headline, "JACKO VOWS HUNT FOR 
LACI'S KILLER;"
9. The U.S. House of Representatives would rename pita bread "Dough Yarmulkes;"
and
10. The average American school kid would be hard-pressed to find either of the
    combatants on a map.
