1. English?

Why is it in English? Just curious.

2. I imagine everyone in the world knows those English words by now

5. English is widely spoken in Jordan

It's an ex-British colony that has kept quite a few ties to the UK. It has a couple of English language newspapers: http://www.world-newspapers.com/jordan.html

3. Very appropriate

USA is a 3rd world country in many areas and the effect of Katrina will strengthen that impression.

3rd, world in the following areas:
1. Welfare
2. Healthcare
3. Public transportation
4. Public education
5. Justice system
6. Politcal system (corrpuution is legalized since there are no laws that prohibit corporations from buying politicians as they have been doing for many years and on both sides)

4. Absolutely perfect representation....

Hopefully that cartoon will appear in at least one future American history book...
