I Hear A Lot of "I Can't"

And not a lot of "I Can". Iraqi people, I beseach you to think positively. I mean, America is thinking positively, and we aren't even Iraqis! Take passports for example. When we arbitrarily stopped accepting Iraqi passports we helpfully suggested that Iraqi embassies update their technology to update existing passports with more technologically advanced, machine readable ones. Right now, Iraqi refugees who are forced to return to Iraq just to update their passports are complaining that they can't see themselves returning to that hell-hole, just for paperwork. I can't I can't I can't. Embassies are complaining that they weren't given enough time to upgrade their passport systems. What? You say you can't? I say You Can! See, that's America's secret to success, our I Can attitude! Want to secede from Britain? I CAN! Want to kick some Nazi toochas? I CAN! Want to interfer with the business of hundreds of poor countries around the world? I CAN!

It's all about your perspective. Sheesh.
