Greetings, loyal minions. Your Maximum Leader found himself watching a little morning news today while getting up at the Villainschloss.
Particularly, your Maximum Leader was struck by a report that Alabama Senator Richard Shelby was writing Secretary of State Rice asking Secretary Rice to encourage the Government of Aruba to basically turn over the Natalee Holloway investigation over to the FBI.
Your Maximum Leader supposes the next step will be to send US Prosecutors, Judges, Defence Counsel, and Jurors to Aruba for the trial.
Now last time your Maximum Leader checked, Aruba was a part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. One wonders what Queen Beatrix is thinking about this whole case. One wonders what the government of the Netherlands in general is thinking about this case. Afterall, a US Senator is pretty much asking the US Secretary of State to ask the Arubans (and Dutch by extension) to give up their sovreignty to the US for the duration of this investigation.
Your Maximum Leader wonders if we’ll next hear George W. Bush call for “Holloway alive or van der Sloot dead!”
Really now… You’ve got Aruban Prosecutors saying that they “are not a bunch of cowboys here.” How can you expect that justice be done when you have an attitude like that? Where is that famed Ole West Posse justice that the Arubans and Dutch are famous for?
Your Maximum Leader supposes that if the Arubans don’t move more quickly in resolving this matter the US will just have to invade. We just cannot stand by idly while our blondes disappear while on vacation after meeting up with exotic men in a tropical paradise. The real question would be what to do with Aruba after the US invasion. One can’t expect that the limpDutch will actually try to take the island back. So that leaves the US with two choices. Annex the island as a US Commonwealth; or hold local elections and let the Arubans decide what they want. Your Maximum Leader bets that Aruba is tired of suffering under the autocratic heel of a despotic monarch thousands of miles away anyway. They are probably chomping at the bit to be rid of their Dutch overlords.
Who knows what will happen?
Your Maximum Leader feels confident of one thing though… Natalee Holloway is dead and it is seemingly more unlikely that her killers will be brought to justice.
Carry on.
