I feel so much better now, knowing that such international powerhouses as Bulgaria and Portugal are ready to support the US in its pre-emptive strike in the ongoing war against Osama bin Laden al-Qaeda Taliban Terrorism Afghanistan the Axis of Evil Saddam Hussein Iraq tyrants.[NYTimes reg req'd]
(Its probably not necessary to say, but: I’m being facetious. I mean no disrespect to the people of the great country of Bulgaria, and particularly the two Bulgarians who may, through some unlikely coincidence, be reading this. I realize that Bulgaria is the president of the UN Security Council for the month of September, and a member of the Council until next December, and therefore does have some influence in the outcome of the debate on Iraq. But I also realize that China, France and Russia are permanent members of the Security Council, and each have veto power over the Council’s decisions. None of these three seem amenable to the US’ insistence that Saddam must be removed now!)
