English.
Spanish
French.

We Americans understand them because they are simple and honest countries, the dull peasant lands from which our forefathers fled.

But what of the strange, exotic, complex nations like Slovokia, Czechia, Slovo-Czechia, upper Volta, middle Volta, low Volta, Malta, Yalta, Bulgaria and Hungaria, Macadonia and Moldavia and Mordor, - what meaning does their twisted political landscape hold for an American?

Good question!
And the answer is,
- we don't know.

Like an internal organ of uncertain use, say, the spleen or gall bladder, we know they are important to America but we don't know exactly why.

Should we ignore them?
Invade?
Offer them beads or war loans?

President Obama is now taking suggestions online!
Maybe.

  We'll take the beads please!
  Then we'll take them off to some other natives somewhere and trade them for their women!
  Meanwhile you big shots can fire your cannons at each other and we'll make love, not war..
