Iraqi Lighter

My buddy Mark lives in Kuwait and just sent me this:

My friend just returned from Iraq and gave me this lighter. He bought it from a vendor at Al Rashid Hotel in the Green Zone. When you flip open the F-16 lid, the bombs blink downward and explode above an inscription that reads "Anxiety peace we" - which I'd guess pretty much sums the war up for your average smoker over there. He had several other models, one was heart shaped with both Hussein and Bush's profiles side by side with another F-16 on top as the trigger.
