Unhappy love affair explains Rice stance on Iran: MP
2005-06-29
I remember when Bin Laden got pissed about American hookers insulting his johnson. That didn't turn out too good.
TEHRAN (AFP) - Perplexed by the vitriol of US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's attacks on Iran, one lawmaker believes he has uncovered the secret of her enmity -- that she was spurned by an Iranian boyfriend at college. "The reason that the US secretary of state attacks Iran is because she had her heart broken by a young man from Qazvin while they were students," a confident Shokrollah Attarzadeh was quoted by the ISNA agency as saying.
Yeah those fast guys from Qazvin. They'll do it every time...
Somewhat mysteriously, he added: "This is the result of an investigation by a woman MP, who cannot be named."
She can say no more. Whoever she is.
Qazvin is an unremarkable city 150 kilometers (90 miles) from Tehran, hitherto not known for playing a major role Iran-US relations, which have been frozen for a quarter of a century.
Gee, can't imagine why...
Attarzadeh did not offer any other details on the alleged affair or, for that matter, any interesting new proposal on how ties between the two arch-enemies could be warmed up.
Hook 'em up again? Teary reunion?
Surprising as it may be, amorous explanations for diplomatic machinations are nothing new here. It was rumoured last year that German Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer hardened his tone towards Iran after acquiring a girlfriend who supports the exiled opposition. The alleged leniency of International Atomic Energy Agency director Mohammad ElBaradei towards Iran's nuclear programme has also been explained by ... him having an Iranian wife.
...and Iran is, as we all know, the center of the universe.

#10  The Iranian who made the remark did so because as a college student he was forced to listen to George Jones during his stay at an American university.

#8  This "theory" is hilarious enough, but the guy crossed over to fiction when he mentioned the source is a female MP. Now, I know it's all crap! How, un-Islamic, you infidel mullah!

#7  I am so hoping that Dick Cheney decides to let her have the last year or so of his Vice Presidency. That would ring the planet like a bell in so many positive ways...

#6  And just think, she's been plotting ever since to get back at him by becoming Secretary of State and "punishing" his homeland.

Riiiiiight, buddy.
