Tom: I have to get out of his country.
Satan: Why?
Tom: My tax money is being used to wage war in Iraq.
Satan: I see.
Tom: Yeah. If I leave the country, then none of the money I earn will buy bombs or bullets that kill Iraqi civilians.
Satan: Congratulations.
Tom: Complacent fuck.
Satan: Oh am I?
Tom: Well, um, I don't know. That's kind of why I brought the whole thing up. Am I being melodramatic? Is there something I'm missing?
Satan: What do you want from me? I'm the Lord of the Underworld. I thrive on this shit. I love death and destruction and charred corpses. I love seeing dead children. Chaos becomes me.
Tom: Well, I don't like it. I want people to be as happy as possible. I can't kid myself any longer. I'm sure every country has something shameful to hide, but my god, it's got to be less than what the American government perpetuates.
Satan: Well, what's the solution?
Tom: Ask countries to establish "aggression free zones"- designate areas that will donate no tax money to funding any military endeavors- recruitment, munitions, any kind of war contracting. How much would you bet that these areas are the safest in any country from terrorism? And maybe countries can use this in a big game of weapons non-proliferation.
Satan: No I mean what's your short-term solution?
Tom: I'm going to go to a country that doesn't contribute to the Iraq war.
Satan: As far as you know.
Tom: That's right fuckface.
