PS - I would not mind sending Jimmy Carter there just to pour a little useless mollasses on the situation; not because he is a brilliant statesman (he is definitely not), but the attention of a useful dupe might flatter the tyrant and kill some time. We could give him a special medal made out of an aluminum pie pan to bestow or something - tyrants like medals.
