A large terrorist nuke blows up in central Europe. After the initial confusion, Tony Blair calls the White House to bring President Bush and his staff up to date.

George, “How big, and who did it?"

Tony, “Very big Mr. President, it came from the Middle east, probably Iran. France is negotiating a separate peace. Germany closed its borders, arrested all terror suspects and all foreigners are under surveillance. We have closed our borders and put all terror suspects under surveillance. What are you going to do Mr. President?”

George, “Um, I don’t know Tony. Let me call Vicente Fox and I'll get back with you.”
