MSNBC reporting that the hijacked Cuban airliner is heading for Florida.

It so much as gets close to a city we're going to take it out.

This is the 2nd plane to be hijacked to Florida in recent weeks. I'll check the Miami Herald and the Keys newspapers for more info.

Here's a question, I just thought about last night...

How many predominantly muslim countries are there in the world? Which ones are backing our coalition and which ones are for Sadam?

Here's a quick list off the top of my head and from http://www.defendamerica.mil/iraq/worldviews032903.html (Forty-three countries which have offered various levels of support for Operation Iraqi Freedom are willing to be publicly named as members of the coalition, U.S. defense officials said March 20. Some countries prefer to remain anonymous, but that number becomes smaller every day as more coutnries publicly join the coaliton.):

Saudi Arabia - C(oalition)
Yemen - C
Qatar - C
Kuwait - C
UAE - C
Afghanistan - C
Philippines - C
Azerbaijan (aren't they mostly muslim?) - C
Turkey - C
Uzbekistan - C
Iran - neutral? (just hoping we don't come after them next)
Syria - S(adam)
Jordan - (I'm guessing coalition supporting on one face and Sadam loving on the other)
Turkmenistan - ?
Pakistan - two faced probably
Egypt - ?
Somalia - S (I'm sure)
Indonesia - C
Lebanon - S (whatever Syria tells it to do)
Bahrain - C
Oman - C
Djibouti - C
Sudan - ?
Libia - S (whatever takes the worlds eyes off them)
Algeria - ?
Morocco - ?
Eritrea (mostly muslim or Christian like Ethiopia???) - ?
Turkmenistan - ?
Uzbeckistan - ?
Kazahkstan - ?
Kyrgistan - ?

Can anyone help me fill in the blanks? Did I miss any? If I'm right, it shows something interesting....

Mexico to take helm of a fractured U.N. Security Council (BWAA HAAA HAAA!)

Mexico takes over the presidency of the U.N. Security Council today, hoping to heal some of the council's recent wounds and begin to repair relations with the United States, soured by Mexico's refusal to support the invasion of Iraq.

That plane is still out there? They were reporting this last night. What has it been doing all this time?

Here's the last Cuban hijacking to Florida on 3/19. This one landed in Key West:

Cuban hijack suspects get bond

KEY WEST - A federal magistrate refused prosecutors' request Tuesday to deny bond to six Cuban men charged last week with using knives and a hatchet to hijack a Douglas DC-3 plane from Cuba to Key West.
