Rooned

There is a sense that 'we'll all be rooned' no matter what action is taken. That the War on Terror is exacerbating the problem rather than alleviating it.

On the one hand, 'we'll all be rooned', it is such a catastrophe; and on the other, let's get to it, there's still so much to be done.

We will all be rooned because readin', 'ritin' and 'rithmetic are not being taught proper no more.
