What help? According to the minds of Rush and his teabaggers, you beat them down, then blame them for being down. In the world there are approx 1,728,000 lightening strikes per day. I dont at all understand why one hasnt struck Rush.

6. They're a sovereign state
Much as I hate to say it, the US is not responsible for other countries.
