Side Comment

Today in my Modern Middle East history class we were discussing the first Gulf War. Prof. Walston made a comment on Bush Sr.'s decision not to proceed to Baghdad because Iraq was such a mess, it wouldn't be possible to get out once the US went in. Walston's comment prompted his own side comment which referenced a skit apparently nobody in the class had seen. So the British professor, one of the biggest sticklers for references and unattached pronouns, pulled up YouTube in the middle of class to show us this.
