RESURRECT DEAD ON PLANET JUPiTER

Personally I’m upset that Rep. David Wu’s public comparison of Bush and neo-conservative ideologues to Star Trek’s Klingons is raising such ridicule among the masses. I think that had his analogy been more accurate, his statements had great communicative potential. But Klingons? Come on.

Wu’s remarks would have been much clearer (and better received) had he drawn a parallel between the neo-conservatives and the Dominion Founders, while linking Bush and like-minded Republicans to Gul Dukat and the Cardassian government. (After mid-2373 of course) In this comparison, Pakistan would (obviously) take on the role of the Klingon Empire with Iraq playing the part of Bajor. U.S. citizens are Jem’Hadar, with oil the equivalent of ketracel-white.

Unfortunately I can’t think of this world’s equivalent to the Vulcans.
