Bartlett - Democrat Leader

I gave quite a little squeal when I saw that Andrew Bartlett had been voted leader of the Australian Democrats. It's fate!

And just as well I didn't have a mouthful of liquid when I read this snippet from the SMH:
'Bush and Saddam should duel: Iraq's challenge

October 5 2002

Iraq's vice-president has suggested that George
Bush should face Saddam Hussein in a duel to
the death with United Nations Secretary-General
Koffi Annan acting as referee.

Taha Yasin Ramadan, a military figure not known
for his sense of humour, said it was a way to
spare the Iraqi people the ravages of war.

He said he and US vice-president Dick Cheney
should be on stand-by as seconds in case both
leaders should die together.

The presidents would choose their weapons for
the clash at a neutral venue. Ramadan said: "In
this way we are saving the American and the
Iraqi people."

A spokesman for Annan said the UN chief was
"amused" by the proposal. "He was amused by
it, but I cannot say more," said Fred Eckhard
when asked for Annan's reaction to the proposal.'

Oh, PLEASE!!!! I love this idea
