The game was designed in response to an American-made game called Assault on Iran that featured almost exactly the same situation, but in reverse").

ABC News reports that, "despite pledges by President George W.

As much as we'd like to think there's a couple fingers of bourbon in that glass, we doubt it. But since political conventions are traditionally festivals of drunkenness, and seeing as how so many of us are going to be huddled around the television tonight, we figured it might not be a bad idea to lay out some ground rules for some drinking and viewing.
