Unhappy Love Affair Explains Rice Stance On Iran - This is serious

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.
Somewhat mysteriously, he added: "This is the result of an investigation by a woman MP, who cannot be named."
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.
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.
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.

Agence Presse Francais and Yahoo are now publishing without blinking whatever pops into the mind of any given anti-American Iranian?
Um, where are the sources?
Hey, Yahoo: Chelsea Clinton said I'm great in the sack, but she could never have a serious relationship with a man because of the sexual abuse she received from Bill Clinton. She never spilled the beans because her father, Vince Foster, made her afraid Bill would have her killed.
Ya gonna publish that, Yahoo?
Didn't think so.

As I asked on the other thread, didn't Kim Jong "I'm So Ronery" Il make an equally absurd comment that the reason Rice was "obsessed" with North Korea was because she had the hots for him?
