The Creative Genius of Bureaucrats

I should let this one pass but I can’t. I’m petty that way. Apparently, the conflict last summer between Israel and Lebanon has not only been officially designated a war but it will be now officially known as…….the Second Lebanon War. An absolutely an inspired choice.

What makes if funny, Kate, is that they just chose the name that everyone here has been using anyway.

Isn't it great how the gov't spends its time and our money? If they could just get back to business now, please, already...?

I don't know if this thought is any comfort, but I swear if this happened in Canada it would take longer.

No comfort, but it is funny.
Did you know that Israel has the largest bureaucracy, per capita, in the world?

???? but Israel didn't go to war last summer?

Anon:
Yes, Israel did go to war. So why waste time and taxpayer $ on a commission to determine a name for it? There are more important things to do.

Like win.
