WASHINGTON – Not usually one to call on the international community for help, President Bush has asked world leaders to help him solve the problem of finding a plausible reason to attack Iran. “I used up so many war reasons for when I shock and awed Iraq,” Bush said, ‘that I’ll need a whole new set of good ones for shock and awing Iran.”
