President Bush announced today that he has authorized US forces in Iraq
to confront Iran militarily. "I have authorized our military commanders
in Iraq to confront Tehran's murderous activities," Bush said in a
speech to US war veterans in Reno. Simultaneously, US forces raided a
hotel in Baghdad and detained ten Iranians who according to a
U.S.-funded radio station included members of an Iranian negotiation
team. This move comes amidst a campaign by the White House to escalate
the rhetorical war between Washington and Tehran, in which the
President has taken concerted new steps toward war. This flurry of
rhetoric has largely rung hollow in the halls of Congress, as members
are away for summer recess.

me paranoid, but having lived in places where governments have no

Let's get the most important issue out of the way: Apparently I've been
drinking the wrong wine: Merlot is out and Shiraz is in if your name is
not Sally but Sadaf. Phew...thanks Mr. Bahmani...To think that all this
time, I wasn't doing what Iranian women do. (For the record, my comment
on well done steak and Merlot was SARCASTIC. I'm a quarter French. My
French ancestors would
nefrin me if they ever caught me eating a piece of meat
