Does the US Need Help in the Mideast?

Oh my, but the Mideast never sleeps:

• Iraq defense minister admits internal conflict is "state of war," US pressured to ask Syria & Iran for help
• Iran President invites presidents of Syria & Iraq for weekend summit
• International human rights watchdog calls Saddam's trial "fundamentally unfair"
  
• Iraq reaches out to Syria and resumes diplomacy after almost 25 years to deal with internal chaos

All this attention is sure to make North Korea jealous. Expect them to launch a parakeet into space in a styrofoam rocket, which will explode shortly after takeoff.
