Serbian president Vojislav Kostunica deployed more than 30,000 peacekeeping troops to the United States today, pledging full support to the troubled North American nation as it struggles to establish democracy. "We must do all we can to support free elections in America and allow democracy to gain a foothold there," Kostunica said. "The U.S. is a major player in the Western Hemisphere and its continued stability is vital to Serbian interests in that region." Kostunica urged both party leaders, to "let the democratic process take its course." "Mr. Gore and Mr. Bush need to acknowledge the will of the people," Kostunica said. "Until America's political figures learn to respect the institutions that have been put in place, the nation will never be a true democracy." Serbian forces have been stationed throughout the U.S., with an emphasis on certain trouble zones. Among them are Florida, Tennessee and Texas, where Bush set up headquarters. An additional 10,000 troops are expected to arrive in the capital city of Washington, D.C. by Friday. Though Kostunica has pledged to work with U.S. leaders, he did not rule out the possibility of economic sanctions if the crisis is not resolved soon. "For democracy to take root and flourish, it must be planted in the rich soil of liberty. And the cornerstone of liberty is elections free of tampering or corruption," Kostunica said. "Should America prove itself incapable of learning this lesson on its own, the international community may be forced to take stronger measures." Kostunica said he would meet with the U.N. Security Council next week if the election issue was not resolved. He is expected to proposed that a large force British, Canadian, Mexican and French troops be deployed to the U.S. by the end of the month.

LOL. I must admit, that is pretty funny, but I imagine we'd rather hang both Bush & Gore and put Nader in the White House if this goes on much longer.

All along the watchtower, princes kept the view
While all the women came and went, barefoot servants, too.
Outside in the distance a wildcat did growl,
Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl.
