As a cholera epidemic is taking hold in Haiti and geologists are predicting another possible earthquake that could devastate the country, who ya gonna call? Punch Portugal into the speed dial, as this Security Council member is in a far better position to help the helpless. Isn't that why they beat us for the SC seat; their ability to respond quickly to international crisis? I'm sure the European Union trying to stack the Security Council with EU members had nothing to do with it, Portugal must just be better than us in global security matters.
I just hope that they are able to help the Haitian people. As members of the Security Council, I expect that they are able to do so.
Not even the "mighty" Portugal will be able to help. I think it's mother nature just fixing things.

I still think we should count our blessings that we weren't elected. At the very least, look at all the savings because we don't have to ramp up our representation and presence in New York.
