Flower Power, All We Are Sayin' is Give Peace a Chance, Jihad's Over If You Want It and Other Vietnam War-Era Anachronisms

Suppose they gave a jihad and nobody came? By the same (60s) token, the Bush Doctrine is bad for Americans and other living things, according to America's carnations-for-brains Lennonesque prez. From the National Post:
