I have just returned from a 10-day tour dealing with the problems of the Middle East, including a meeting with the Iraqi parliament, although that was in London, which is where the Iraqi parliament meets now that it is no longer convenient to meet in Iraq, because none of the surviving members of the Iraqi parliament live in Iraq anyway.


Trying to start up the parliament in Iraq was a disaster because there were 275 members, only 14 of whom made it to the last Baghdad meeting. The London meeting drew 190, and they served a nice lunch. There was a lot of discussion - speaking of musicals - on how to get good seats for "Billy Elliot - The Musical." Elton John is incredibly popular in Iraq. ... I don't know how many of you know that.

3. God save the queen

....the fascist regime. (I mean it man)

seeing as the Brits drew the bloody borders of Iraq, this
seems only appropriate. What did Malcom X say after Kennedy
took a bullet in the head...."the chickens are coming
home to roost?"
