Another Foreign Leader Heard From...

From today's Washington Post:

    MADRID, March 17 -- Prime Minister-elect Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero on Wednesday described the U.S. occupation of Iraq as "a fiasco" and suggested American voters should follow the example set by Spain and change their leadership by supporting Sen. John F. Kerry of Massachusetts for president in November.

While I'm sure Mr. Rumsfeld will jump in to now amend his portrait of "Old Europe" to include Spain, it rather makes you wonder what country there might exist who does respect us? OK, let me redefine this: some country we don't pay exhorbitant amounts of money to respect us. And even then, you have countries like Israel and Egypt who take large sums and don't respect us anyway.

    Trick: Here's your hundred dollars. But will you still love me in the morning?
    Prostitute: Hell, no! Now give me another hundred.
