Don't cry for me Micronesia. I should have a special Micronesia Watch section given the supremely important role that this wonderful nation plays in world affairs: from blind support for Israel, to sending one brave Micronesian soldier to Iraq to help the "coalition." Here, a pro-Israeli website praises Israeli-Micronesian relations. And here, the Israeli foreign ministry brags about the visit by the glorious president of Micronesia to Israel. And here, the government of Israel brags about sending a whopping $5000 (I swear 5000) worth of medical aid to Micronesia. And this is offensive: this paper lists the number of foreign troops in Iraq (including the 30 soldiers from Macedonia but there is no reference to the brave Micronesian soldier in Iraq, which only makes me worried. Where is the Micronesian soldier in Iraq? Is he missing? What if he is looking for the WMDs or for Saddam? Is he safe? What if he is lonely? I plan to launch a campaign to support the lone Micronesian soldier in Iraq.
