Where are those days when Legos used to be apolitical, pacifist toys full of invention, demanding constructional fantasy from kids? The world is changing, and its toys are changing. Legos must go into ACTION!
To keep up with current trends, Legos must reflect the world. OR IS IT JUST PEOPLE PLAYING WITH LEGOS???
Well. We already have this excellent new board game called WAR ON TERROR. Excellent commercial idea, big - Big Controversy, especially rightfully disgusted reactions from relatives of victims of bomb attacks. But heck, this game surely looks good! One of it's creators said in defense something like "Looking at bad things with humor helps people to live. Some are disgusted that we earn money on such thing... but hey, there are companies which profit on REAL War on Terror!"

Back to Legos, shall we.
People have fantasy, really. Just consider:
We are at war, right? Nobody doubts that. LEGOLAND IS AT WAR TOO!
I need you to join the Lego Army! NOW!

Everybody's a comedian. Why don't you come up with a solution for Iraq if you know a better way instead of just bashing? I'm not supporting the crap going on, but I don't have a better solution, besides getting out, and having Iraq turn itself inside out, and breed some more hatrid and dictators. Oh, was that out loud? We've all had the Iraq discussion here, and it's getting old.

It's obvious what is necessary. A peacekeeping force of space dudes and pirates.
