Spot the Thomas Friedman Piece

The inexhaustible James Taranto has some great items in today's Best of the Web. For example:
'Tell Them to Go Hang'
"Zambia will not arrest former US president George W. Bush during his African tour for violating international torture laws, the foreign minister said Saturday," Radio Netherlands reports:
Rights group Amnesty International had Thursday urged Ethiopia, Tanzania and Zambia to arrest Bush during the five-day tour to promote efforts to fight diseases like cancer, AIDS and malaria. "On what basis does Amnesty International want us to arrest Mr Bush? Tell them to hang, and also please ask them to create their own country and wait for Mr Bush to visit their country so that they can arrest him to suit their wish and not here in Zambia," Foreign Minister Chishimba Kambwili told AFP.

You've got love the Zambians. Meanwhile, what will Amnesty International call its new country? We suggest "Amnesia."

It's especially funny once you get to the items mentioned in the first link. Makes me long for an update to The Mustache of Understanding.
