New Reality TV Show Idea

Maybe it's because it's a rainy Monday or perhaps because of my allergies, but here's a reality TV show idea that I think many of us could get behind:

Take Wolfowitz, Cheney, Perle, and everyone else who assured us we would have a "cake walk" in Iraq, that we would be greeted with flowers and cheers, and set them up in an apartment in downtown Baghdad or Fallujah. Then these enterprising little spinners - without special protection or air cover - would proceed to go out onto the Iraqi streets helping to transform the country one heart and mind at a time.

Me? I'd give 'em six minutes. But maybe they'd come up with a better approach for Iraq after they had to suffer the way the people of Iraq and the coalition soldiers, contractors, and humanitarian aid workers do. Perhaps we could even let the Iraqis vote one of them at a time out of the apartment to live on the streets.
