double plus un-bad

You know, there's one nice thing that can be seen in this whole UN/Iraq debacle.

The rotating nature of the non-veto countries in the Security Council means that all of those small countries out there have a chance, should a war be threatened when they're in the council, to have the US pretend to care about them for a while.

And maybe even have Bush call them our friend or win some financial aid or something.

(Not that I'm saying that other nations are buyable; that is not an acceptable proposition.)

It's like musical chairs or a lottery for countries.

Okay, yes, I'm adding a comment to my own story, but Doug had sent me a link to video of the press conference (in RealVideo format) I linked to in the article, and I didn't know where else to put it.

Forward to around 29:00 and listen to the press' reaction to Ari's straight-laced answer at the end. It's oddly blunt and cynical.

Odd times, these.
