GEORGE W. AND PAUL BREMER LIKE PHYSICAL EXERCISE -- JUST LIKE ME!

Not only that, but I have a lot more in common with Paul Bremer than I ever knew!

To show you what I mean, here's a little background on George W. and Paul Bremer I copied from an article by Peter W. Gailbraith in the New York Review of Books:

"In late April 2003, Donald Rumsfeld contacted L. Paul Bremer III, known as Jerry, to ask if he would be interested in becoming Iraq's postwar administrator. Bremer, a former career diplomat, had been Henry Kissinger's special assistant, ambassador at large for counterterrorism in the Reagan administration, and ambassador to the Netherlands before leaving government in 1989 to become managing director for Kissinger Associates. Although he did not know Bush before, the two men immediately got on well, partly thanks to their shared interest in physical exercise."

So that's the part about how me and George and "Jerry" all like to exercise. But now here's the part that shows how I have a lot of other things in common with Jerry Bremer:

"Bremer knew nothing about Iraq. He had never been there, did not speak Arabic, had no experience in dealing with a country emerging from war, and had never been involved in 'nation-building.'"

In late April 2003, I, Paul M. Sark knew nothing about Iraq, had never been there, did not speak Arabic, had no experience with a country emerging from war, and had never been involved in nation-building either!

And you know what? -- I still don't speak Arabic!
