As we ponder our next move in the current war, ah, excuse me, our current disagreement with our distinguised opponent Mr. Bin Laden and his fine fellow freedom fighters of the Taliban.
It would be most useful to achieving our objectives if we were to invite Mr. Bin Laden and some of his distinguished cohorts from the Taliban to join us in some tea and capers over the weekend here in Boston or perhaps over in London, if it would be more convenient for our worth and distinguished opponents. I am certain we can get President Bush and Prime Minister Blair to join us so that we can hash out our differences in a civilized and constructive manner. If we are able to reach an agreement, ah, excuse me, compromise with the distinguished Mr. Bin Laden, then perhaps we could raise a toast together with some fine Irish single-malt whiskey. If Mr. Bin Laden and his fine and merry band of freedom fighters object to the use of, ahem, alcoholic libations, why then we can seal the deal with a fine cup of the Queen's finest tea instead. Ah, that would be most civilized indeed.
