They'll need a bigger room.
Maybe even a bigger island-

Brian Williams opened his newscast last night with this: "Good evening from Havana, Cuba, the host city for what is called the Summit of Non-Aligned Nations--in short, all of the enemies of the United States, really, gathered in one room."

Well, then. There are 118 developing countries that are part of the nonaligned movement, including India, Pakistan, and Thailand. Sure hope we don't have to invade them all.

UN Secretary General Kofi Annan Says Non Aligned Movement More Important then Ever
Havana.- UN Secretary General Kofi Annan affirmed on Friday in Havana that the Non Aligned Movement is "more important than ever" and recognized that there is a déficit with the developing nations which are not always heard.
Annan gave his speech during the opening of the 14th Summit of Non Aligned Nations underway in the Cuban capital and will wind up on Saturday, with the presence of some 50 Heads of State and Government and dozens of delegations.

2. Well, at least one other person recognizes the importance of this
mis-statement. But, that is the perception we hold isn't it? Submit or die, resistance is futile, we are Borg. *insert borg smiley here*

4. The 'news' is not good at including ALL nations generally. Yesterday on
the radio they did a segment. just said, cuba, ven.. NK "such as"---really gives the impression that it is only a few of 'evil' nations.

6. Dog forbid that our "reporters" actually report the news. If the sheep
ever heard that we're wearing the black hats now, they might bleat. "Be quiet stupid sheep, there's nothing happening here, now take your Soma and go back to sleep".
