10 March 2003 - amongst disagreement

< yesterday -- tomorrow >

diplomat: Hi, my job is to help nations get along even amongst disagreement.
politician: And mine is to get decisions made amongst disagreement.
George Bush: Hmm. Well, I guess I won’t be needing either of you. With my clear vision of right and wrong, there’s no room for disagreement. Whoever’s not with us is against us. That’s why I called that UN vote. We may lose the vote, but I’ll know who to invade next.
politician: Ah, job security! With so much idealism in the mix, there’ll be more disagreement than ever!
diplomat: I’ve got some ambiguous wording. Let’s paper right over that.
