War Begins with Dubya
Prime Minister Jean Chretien receives a standing ovation yesterday from members of his caucus in the House of Commons after announcing Canada will not participate in a war on Iraq that does not have the support of the U.N. Security Council. The PM did not phone U.S. President George W.Bush to inform him of his decision, aides say. Foreign Affairs Minister Bill Graham said "the ambassador from the United States is quite capable of watching Canadian television," so they didn't need a phone call.
Saddam Hussein phoned President Bush and said, "I had a dream about the United States. I could see the whole country, and over every building and home was a banner."
"What was on the banner?" asked Bush.
"LONG LIVE SADDAM!" answered the dictator.
"I'm so glad that you called," said President Bush, "because I too had a dream. In my dream, I saw Iraq and it was more beautiful than ever; totally rebuilt with many tall, gleaming office buildings, large residential subdivisions with swimming pools in every yard; and over every building and home was a big, beautiful banner."
"What did the banner say?" asked Saddam.
"I don't know," answered President Bush, "I can't read."
