Iraq ratifies the Kyoto Protocol

In a somewhat surprising announcement yesterday, the Iraqi government voted to ratify the Kyoto Protocol. Although it is questionable whether they actually have the resources to enforce it (I think they might be a little busy with this whole"war" thing), it is an impressive step which their occupiers (us) cannot even get done.

It is true that as a developing nation, Iraq will actually be receiving subsidies for the ratification, but the irony is still quite apparent. As a side note - was Iraq a "developing nation" before the USA bombed their infrastructure into nothingness? I wonder...

Only 356 days until Bush is gone. Hold your breath...
