You know things are weird...

...when you read in an American blog that a Pakistani newspaper is reporting that a Chinese newspaper is reporting that North Korea's Kim Jung Il has offered asylum to Iraqi's Hussein.

I assume that means the capture of Saddam becomes a diplomatic issue that can be resolved peacefully.

You see...to Jag, something in an American blog saying that a Pakistani newspaper is reporting that a Chinese newspaper is reporting that something happened in North Korea is considered reliable.

That or Newsweek.

For want of a nail the horseshoe was lost,

For want of a horseshoe the horse was lost,

For want of a horse the man was lost,

For want of a man the skirmish was lost,

For want of a skirmish the battle was lost,

For want of a battle the war was lost...

... all for the want of a nail
