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.
