American soldiers traumatised by fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan are to be offered the drug ecstasy to help free them of flashbacks and recurring nightmares. The US food and drug administration has given the go-ahead for the soldiers to be included in an experiment to see if MDMA, the active ingredient in ecstasy, can treat post-traumatic stress disorder.

In a related story, New Order albums are climbing up the charts in Iraq and Afghanistan.

I think it is an eXtrodinary and eXceptional plan to help these soldiers with the "Blue Monday" of being Shell Shock-ed by war. I just hope no Bizarre Love Triangle, sealed by a Perfect Kiss and Temptation takes place between one of our soldiers, an Iraqi and a camel. But if it does remember it is an Age of Content, and was probably caused by the Confusion made by the Power, Corruption & Lies of the Bush Adminstration.

In all seriousness though, I am a staunch conservative and believe this really is a great idea. I am a firm believer that this drug has many theraputic qualities. After all, it was a drug used in marriage counseling before it was made illegal. We All Stand Together in this war and even Thieves Like Us conservatives are hip to this form of therapy.

Besides, I personally ate alot of MDMA to help me with the flashbacks, trauma and nightmares caused by my many years of being a Democrat!

This should help the recruiting efforts of the armed forces. I can just see it now, all these Ravers showing up at boot camp with glow sticks, whistles, and pacifiers.

Free X for everybody!

This gives new meaning to the 9/11 term "Let's Roll"
