		<description>&lt;i&gt;What&apos;s the menu to be served?&lt;/i&gt;

Most likely, a heaping serving of iron-fisted justice, followed by a nice big slice of liberty pie.</description>

		<description>unfortunately liberty pie is off the menu (it&apos;s only half-baked).  Instead there will be a finger buffet with unexpoded cluster bomblets in an oil marinade.</description>

		<description>Yeah, props to Shadowkeeper for sharing the wealth.

I still feel obligated to point out inaccuracies -- most of the &quot;no&quot; states are only opposed to that bugaboo of bugaboos, the &quot;unilateral&quot; attack on Iraq. Qatar, Turkey, and Kuwait were clearly Yes, Jordan a Maybe, and of NATO nations only Germany has insisted they will send no troops under any circumstances (but they&apos;re embroiled in an election campaign). And Switzerland a Maybe? Talk about WHAT. THE. FUCK. They&apos;re only just now joining the UN. The only place abroad they send troops is the Vatican.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;&quot;Iraq says it will allow U.N. weapons inspectors to immediately return to the country without conditions, but a senior U.S. official discounted the announcement, saying &quot;we do not take what Saddam says at face value.&quot; &lt;/i&gt;

Will not negotiate...... Must not negotiate...... Talking may leave the other person alive.....  Must not negotiate.....

		<description>Dear George--
My my my. Seems that our last little kafuffle is all water under the bridge now. You never called, you didn&apos;t write, no flowers sent after that little Kashmir blowup this past year, and now it seems you think Pakistan is hotter than I am. Just because it&apos;s next to Afghanistan. What-&lt;i&gt;ever!&lt;/i&gt; 

I always knew you didn&apos;t love me. But now this: you want to get in bed with me again? Hah. I think not, my once-love. You can&apos;t have us both, you two-timer! Never call me again (at least until you dump that little minx Pakistan. Then I&apos;m in for the long haul).

		<description>I know your not inviting me was just an oversight as you&apos;re probably really busy organizing this huge party with all your friends.  But just in case you ask - I can&apos;t make it - still cleaning up after the last party... have a blast.

		<description>Just a note to let you know I heard about the bash - those UN gossips, you know, what a set of cackling hens - but I&apos;m not upset about being excluded. I was going to spend the weekend with North Korea anyway, working on this axis project we have going, so could you guys try to keep the noise down? 

Cheers

		<description>Listen, keep the noise down, eh, and can we remember that firecrackers scare the pets. Even if they &lt;b&gt;do &lt;/b&gt;land where they&apos;re thrown.

If you must have these do&apos;s, bear in mind some of the neighbours have to get up for work the next day.

Thanks.

		<description>Hey George,

Hmm, we&apos;ve noticed we&apos;re not on the invite list--thats OK, we&apos;re a little short on cash these days anyway.

But while we&apos;re on the subject, could you invade down here?  Anywhere is fine, heck, we&apos;ve got plenty of saber rattling wacko leaders who kill lots of people.  We could really use some regime change/nation building action.

luv,

		<description>Hello Mr George,

We were not invited to your party but we know you as a good friend of reputation. 

We wish to inform you of an overpayment of $300,000,000 (US Dollars) to the Iraq Goventment Arms Fund of 1980-1988. 

We look for partner to aid us in dealing with this overpayment who will receive money of 20% value of the funds as transferred via international bank.

Please send passport.

Much praise and regardsness
