Just about everyone knows this work (by French composer Paul Dukas) from the Disney film Fantasia, with Mickey Mouse in the title role. But for those of you who don't, here's an explanation:

This work of music tells a story about a sorcerer who had an apprentice. One night, the sorcerer had to go out. And the apprentice decided to take up some of the boss's magic. But, unfortunately for him, he never learned how to control it, and he ended up in a big mess, which the sorcerer had to stop in the end. The moral of the story is: Never start what you cannot finish.

You know, in a way, I think President Bush is like the sorcerer's apprentice. The best example of this would be Iraq. He and his colleagues started a war over there without a plan to finish the job. And it makes me wonder: When will the sorcerer return and clean up this mess once and for all?

You have no idea what you are talking about.

General Tommy Franks divided the Iraq timeline into 4 phases. President Bush signed off on Gen. Franks plan.

Read "American Soldier" to find this out for yourself.

Phase 4: reconstruction and nationbuilding

Time to complete: as long as it takes.

We deployed troops to the Balkans under Clinton HOW long ago? And we are still there doing "nation building".

You seem to bring up the Iraq War in practically every post you make Marauder. oO

In any case...the Sorcerer's Apprentice analogy would apply better to most RPs in the RP Guild. 😛

No, Ultra...if that were the case, the apprentice would vanish off the face of the earth and the brooms would wonder what was going on.

I'm with Jimro on this...

We knew that it wouldn't be easy. Just because we kicked out the bad regiem, doesn't mean that everything will be all hunky dorry...

We can't just back out now. Doing so would flush all of our efforts down the drain. I've had uncles serving in the Air National Guard. I know what it's like fearing for the life of your loved ones. But it is worth it.

Your Sorcerer is called a H-bomb...very effective...

What does Disney have to do with your underage ninja erections? Or did I answer my own question. o.o
