Journal SPAM: I hate all Iranians, US aide tells MPs 10
Britsh MPs visiting the Pentagon to discuss America's stance on Iran and Iraq were shocked to be told by one of President Bush's senior women officials: "I hate all Iranians."
And she also accused Britain of "dismantling" the Anglo-US-led coalition in Iraq by pulling troops out of Basra too soon.
The all-party group of MPs say Debra Cagan, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Coalition Affairs to Defence Secretary Robert Gates, made the comments this month.
Look at her photo. Is this person real? What Nazi-leather fetish scene did she escape from? It looks like John Kerry at a Skull-and-Bones reunion dinner!
Actually, she wouldn't be out of place at the Folsom St. Fair - if she were prettier. No wonder Ann Coulter is always in a pissy mood, if she's waking up to this in bed, every morning.
Christ! We have more to fear now, than merely fear itself:
Update
Huge thanks go out to Newshoggers reader and researcher Kat, who unearthed the interesting fact that, after being the project leader on Project Vinca - a fast-tracked program to clean up the former Yugoslavia's loose nuclear materials - in 2001, Debra Cagan gained the support and patronage of Richard Armitage.
Yes, that Richard Armitage. Neoconservative member of PNAC and the Council On Foreign Relations, Plame leaker, Iran-Contra plotter and board member of CACI International (Abu Graib torturers) and ChoicePoint Inc. (Florida 2000 vote spoilers and NSA data-miners).
It's a small, small world when it comes to the neocons.

Do I hate all AmeriKKKans because of Dick Cheney and David Duke? Of course not.
My mother in law is a professor at Tehran University. Iran has more doctoral-level women in the delivery and management of higher-education than the US has ever had.
As I said - it is complex. And women in Iran have more hope of changing things themselves, than being "rescued" with bombs and invasions. After all, wome

If they're so diverse, how come they accept an openly RELIGIOUS government by the Supreme Leader?

Could have fooled me sometimes. But I'd point out that David Duke couldn't get elected for dogcatcher- where the Ayatollahs don't have to be elected to get power at all.

I advocate the right of Iranian people to self-determination. Even if this means foolhardy compromises and unreconciled internal contradictions. That is the intelligent, humane and spiritually sound point-of-view.
On a sheerly statistical basis, I would rather be a Christian Armenian in Tehran, than a Black man in Chicago. In Tehran I'd likely be middle-class, an

Oh, I can. But by and large, most American wing-nuts pick a side and follow it slavishly, and often, irrationally, to the illogical end. The neocons are a great example, as are the pro-life and pro-choice movements.
Thus we expect, on politics at least, that the people you vote for are representative of your views. One could point out that nobody votes for Sup
