Comedy of an Era

The fact that this entire affair has somehow come down to Angola, Cameroon and Guinea (at least on one level) is remarkable in its ludicrousness. While it is evident that there will be war regardless of the vote (assuming there is one at this point), it is a spectacle of the post Cold War era that these thing countries are relevant in any way to vital US foreign policy.

The very fact that we are going to these lengths to play the international law/multilateral game ought quash all arguments that Bush is a reckless cowboy.
