Honestly, Elphaba, when I read the entire story, the only thing that stuck in my mind was the above passage, which is clear to just about anyone not living under a rock, I would venture to guess. I am more interested in trying to found out as much as possible about what actually is going on in Iraq than I am about some politician's flowery, self-aggrandizing prose.

Well Thank You Mr. Western-Diplomat-in-Baghdad for that colorful and descrpitive analysis! Your commentary on the matter is most informative!! Hopefully it was actually even you who said it, and not some creative embellishment on the Editor's part!! You remember Dan Rather, riiight?!? Your check is in the mail, btw!!
