A Letter to Mr. President Obama,
I know you get a lot of fan mail, but I think I speak for a lot of Americans when I say PLEASE DON'T CANCEL MY FAVORITE WAR!
Sure, ratings have been down the last few years, but Libya and Egypt didn't even last a season and I don't want to nor have the time to learn all the new Ugandan characters. Don't tell me we "still have Afghanistan" because ever since we got bin Ladin it's been one big Soviet-Afghan rerun. How do you say boring in Pashtun?
Please reconsider, Mr. Obama. If you cancel the Iraq War now it's just going to be another over-hyped American finale where all the characters awkwardly reminisce about the past without having resolved any issues. Say what you want about the leaders of the 1940s, they knew how to put on a complete three act structured extravaganza that brought crowds to the theater of war from Europe to Africa to Asia -- and that was in black and white!
The only bright side is that the Afghan spinoff into Pakistan (tentatively entitled "Drone Pilot") looks promising. Maybe you can make something out of that.
Always in the Biz,
Tanenbaumed
