TJ, I don't think it's reasonable to say a bloke with a black turban, a white robe, a rifle, and a video camera has equal ranking with major powers. It's also not strictly precise to say that King George II is some kind of idol of mine. I quite liked him cutting taxes on dividends. That was very good for me. I'm sure there are other things I think were good. Reappointing Uncle Al KBE was a good move. I can't think of anything else off-hand, but I'm sure there's quite a lot. Putting the kibosh on the IRA and Gerry Adams was great news too. What else do you think I like? I was annoyed that he didn't put CDMA in Iraq instead of GSM. I thought that was a poke in the eye to Brent Scowcroft [who is on the board of QUALCOMM].

Speaking in a video aired on al-Jazeera TV, Ayman al-Zawahiri said the US was not talking to "the real powers" in the region and its negotiations would fail.

Thanks for the laugh, I needed that. ;^)
