 Guess who's coming to dinner? This story from Agence France-Presse US President Bush to visit Northern Ireland to discuss Iraq war US President George W. Bush is to visit Northern Ireland Monday to meet British Prime Minister Tony Blair to discuss the Iraq war, the prime minister's office said. Bush will be in Northern Ireland on Monday and Tuesday, Downing Street said Friday. The two men will also discuss the situation in the Middle East and in Northern Ireland. It will be Bush and Blair's third summit in recent weeks, following a gathering in the Azores ahead of the outbreak of the Iraq War March 20 and last week's discussions in Camp David in the United States. A Downing Street spokesman said the two leaders had "found the meetings in the Azores and Camp David very helpful in the development of our strategy on the military, diplomatic and humanitarian fronts." Ireland Prime Minister Bertie Ahern will also attend the summit. The three leaders will meet with leaders of Northern Ireland's main Protestant party the Ulster Unionists, the political wing of the Irish Republican Army, Sinn Fein, and the Social Democratic and Labour Party, the main Roman Catholic party in the province, in order to get the Northern Ireland peace process back on track. Blair and Ahern are due to launch make-or-break proposals for the implementation of the 1998 Good Friday peace agreement, that led to power sharing between Catholics and Protestants. "It is an important week in the Northern Ireland peace process," the Downing street spokesman said.

Emperor to Visit Slaves in Belfast
by Not an Irish Slave Sat, Apr 5 2003, 10:43am
A narrative of the master-slave relationship
Emperor Bush, on the phone: Pontius Blair, this is your Emperor speaking.
Pontius Blair: Heil Bush! The all-great!
Emperor Bush: Pontius Blair, we need to stage a peace meeting so I can give you your new war orders. Any idea where we can meet for maximum feel-good publicity and minimum fuss from the slaves?
Pontius Blair: All-great Bush, my kingdom still holds in captivity a colony of slaves, willing to declare obedience to your empire, it’s called Ireland, we can meet there, near the slave city of Belfast.
Emperor Bush: Ireland? Didn’t they try to prevent my death planes from using my airport at Shannon?
Pontius Blair: Only a few hundred ever showed up Emperor, but their great slave-leader Ahern has always bowed before your image, of majesty. He promises to kiss your nuclear ring, and more, if you allow him the privilege.
Emperor Bush: But aren’t there other slave leaders in Ireland who oppose me?
Pontius Blair: Only to gain blind support from their followers. The slave leader Adams will come like a dog when we beckon, and explain to his followers it is a noble action, and they, being Irish and used to slavery, will believe him and obey. Believe me Emperor, we have governed them directly and indirectly for hundreds of years. They have a slave mentality which extends deep into their subconscious. A few will carry signs and demonstrate publicly against your majesty, but the rest of them will praise you as slaves always praise their masters. They’ve felt the whip enough to know that resistance is futile.
Emperor Bush: Ok Pontius, see you next week. I have pockets full of cluster bombs and depleted uranium to give you to use against the brown slaves in the east who claim our oil. I’m sure you will not hesitate to use these marvellous weapons.
Pontius Blair: Of course not Emperor, we do as we are told. Heil Bush!
