1. But ya know this whole thing is a really GOOD learning exper for GW!

Now he might get a clue about WHY diplomacy is such a great TOOL! Wouldn't it be great if he hadn't have been such an ASSHOLE to the world and swaggared around like some naked emperor...and maybe other countries might be willing to help out?

But nooooooo......mr. "I got all those tanks, guns, play soldiers, and bombs.......so I can treat the WHOLE world like dog poop" had to be a total butthead.

So, George, in the REAL WORLD.......of which you have been present for less than 6 days......what d'ya think?
