Did you know that Indonesia was the most populous Muslim nation in the world? (As opposed to those Muslim nations not in the world; I've always wondered about that common turn of phrase...) Anyway, duh -- but the newsbeings at NBC are very careful to inform us of the National Geographic Lite fact before telling us that the entire archipelago is against the attack on Iraq, and are calling for the UN to "call an emergency meeting." Chortle. Yeah, go ahead, have your little meeting, diplomatical creatures. Somehow I get the feeling that "emergency meeting of the United Nations" somehow doesn't inspire that The Day the World Stood Still frisson of terror in the White House these days.

Thanks for the mention of the Canadian Friends of America Site...
I tracked back a referral and read your stuff...as they say on the Web LOL
Yoplait is perfect as is the happy thought of the White House in stark terror of the UN.
Please contribute to the CFA forum...please...

I think that the White House was pretty terrified of the UN oh, from 1992 to around 2000.
