Tomorrow’s edition of Al-Hayat is reporting that a group of Sunni fundamentalist [...]

As the Iraq war and subsequent occupation went so smoothly and just according to plans, Bush is considering another splendid war against North Korea. Let us hope that Abu Mus`ab Az-Zarqawi, the source of all ills in Iraq, does not turn up in North Korea. US already is relying on Ahmad Chalabi’s twin Asian brother, [...]
