[font size="4"]John McCain illegally entered the country, Syria complains to the United Nations[/font]

Syria has complained to the United Nations that U.S. Republican Senator John McCain, former French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner and former U.S. diplomat Peter Galbraith entered the country without visas in violation of its sovereignty.

Syria’s U.N. ambassador, Bashar Ja’afari, called on U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and the 15-member Security Council to pressure governments to take “the necessary measures against their nationals who enter Syrian territory illegally.”

The biggest concern seems to be that he's taking jobs away from local posturing political hacks. But you know what? He's just doing the posturing that Syrians aren't willing to do!
