      hmm so they're still slightly evil... Hope they're not next in line after Iraq and N.K. I don't want to be a human shield when I go to Cuba in july.

        Rummy is the Mike Tyson of the diplo core. You have to give us Ameroes credit for coming up with a drunk brawler for Sec Defense! C'mon on! The guy is a brilliant bad cop. "Youse guys are all chicken-sh!t and I'm gonna kick everyones ass"

        No finesse at all - but it is brilliant! The pit-bull in the government.
        Be the bid!

            Rummy? Don't think so.
            I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

              If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it must be a duck. All Rumsfeld has been good for is opening his mouth in order to change feet. Although he's been trying to get everyone on his side of the issue, he's only managed to piss alot of people off. I'd say that's being a diplomatic moron.

                You're thinking of John Ashcroft.

                It's easy to confuse the two.

                  Just asking. I heard/read it somewhere. It might have been Ashcroft though.

                      If this is true, then your prime minister is the biggest moron on the planet...

                      See Sten Sture's post for an intelligent analysis of Rumsfeld's diplomatic role.

                          Unless that is the intention. Then you can just say, well, that army sargent we got is the pointy end of the stick, but we'll try not to let him nuke anybody friendly...

                            Rumsfeld seems to be the modern US version of the Davy Crockett nuclear mortar.

                              I don't recall Chretien totally pissing off the very people he's trying to befriend. He's a diplomat, he knows how to butter people up, that's why he's been probably the most successful Prime Minister we've ever had. He understands full well that politics is a game of give and take, something that Rumsfeld could use a few lessons in.

                                If the intention is counter-productive to the ultimate goal, then maybe it's time he tried a new approach. Obviously the first one isn't working very well.
