I don't know if you caught it, but two or three days ago, Bush was on the TV saying that the US doesn't want a nuclear Iran, or an Iran with nuclear production capability, or even with nuclear "knowledge". So Bush/Rice have the administration message down pat, and they both are singing from the same song book. Preventing knowledge conjures up images of past attempts at book burning etc. I take it from some previous subtle comments you made that Rice is not your favourite. No doubt you remember what Zhirinovsky said about her? " "If she has no man by her side at her age, he will never appear," Zhirinovsky said. "Condoleezza Rice needs a company of soldiers. She needs to be taken to barracks where she would be satisfied." " "Condoleezza Rice is a very cruel, offended woman who lacks men's attention," he added. "Such women are very rough. ? They can be happy only when they are talked and written about everywhere: 'Oh, Condoleezza, what a remarkable woman, what a charming Afro-American lady! How well she can play the piano and speak Russian!' "Complex-prone women are especially dangerous. They are like malicious mothers-in-law, women that evoke hatred and irritation with everyone. Everybody tries to part with such women as soon as possible. A mother-in-law is better than a single and childless political persona, though."" But maybe I am wrong, and you secretly admire her, because I remember reading something which you wrote about her baring her teeth or something like that. (I will look it up if you insist). Does that mean you think she is a real tiger? Or maybe a little pussy cat? Perhaps there is more than just "admiration" there??
