It's nice to know that not all children in the Middle East will be named Osama, Saddam or Chirac. On NRO, we are introduced to young Dick Cheney:
Now the children range from Kertistan (ph), who is their firstborn, 18 years old, to the youngest, who is 4 years old. He's running around here somewhere. And in between, their child is Dick Cheney. Dick -- where is Dick?. Dick. That's Dick Cheney. And yes, he was named after the U.S. Defense Secretary. Dick was born in 1991, and his father says he named him Dick Cheney because they admired the American. Now he was born in '91 during the liberation of Kuwait. And according to his father, if they are expecting another baby anytime soon, they will be naming him George Bush.
I hope, after the war, we can be introduced to young George Bush.

You're a cruel young woman, Tina.
In any event, do you know if Mr. Chomsky ever answered these questions?
