I am fairly sure that this column by Mary Mitchell (Urban war zones in U.S. also could use troops) is serious:
Now that the Iraqi people have been delivered from Saddam Hussein, can the troops come home and help the oppressed people on the South Side of Chicago?
I'd think to think that she is doing the ol' tongue-in-cheek routine, but I think she's serious.
If you want my opinion, militarizing the South Side of Chicago strikes me as a bad idea.

And, shoot, they don't vote Republican anyway. So killing a bunch of them wouldn't be such a bad idea in that
1. It would send a message to the Dems not to be so uppity. It might even end the Estrada filibuster.
2. It would reduce Illinois' congressional delegation size and Electoral College representation, giving more weight to Texas.
