<Bill Clinton would be an excellent New World Order Viceroy
This would certainly revitalize the "Clinton-Bashing" industry! <g>

Anything to keep the crowd amused and mob off the streets. I'm sure he can handle it. He probably even feeds off it. A bit like Saddam must be loving the whole process of being the centre of the world, albeit not going all that well right now.

Maybe he has a rabbit in the hat and at the 11th hour he'll announce that Kofi is now CEO of Iraq, or that unless the USA stops, he'll let off nuke number 1 in a USA city. Misunderestimating an enemy is a big mistake. Perhaps Saddam misunderestimated George II, but perhaps George and co have returned the compliment.

I suppose we'll soon know what's what.

Meanwhile, there's an eerie photo on the front page of The New Zealand Herald this morning. It's reminiscent of the terracotta soldiers in China. The internet photo has been cropped and lightened, so it's not as effective as the full photo on paper: nzherald.co.nz

A couple of thousand years later and we are still sending rank and file of soldiers in dust to their or others' doom.

What a paucity of imagination.
