When life gets busy so does Holmes, but don’t worry, he’ll be back soon with more of his foreign affairs analysis and biting sarcasm. In the meantime, I thought I’d lighten things up a bit after that intense and important series on Iran (See Special Edition Iran in the Archives).

This is a piece by The Onion made shortly after the release of Call of Duty 2. Although the real Call of Duty, Modern Warfare 3 is already out, this is still a funny and disturbingly accurate spoof.

All the best to all of you for keeping it real.
