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.
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.
Liberal nonsense at its finest.
Reuters is reporting this kind of garbage? I thought surely it was the National Intruder.
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Can you imagine Reuters peddling this kind of absurd gossip about Hillary or some other liberal fave?
Good grief. Reuters will print anything.
Haha!
NEVER cross a Scorpio!
And didn't Kim Jong Il claim that Rice was obsessed with North Korea because she has the hots for him? Good grief...these aren't simply megalomaniacs...they're just plain maniacs.
"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.'
Well, I guess that explains it. Shokrollah Attarzadeh knows all about relationships since he is still in the stable, loving marriage to the same sheep he loved as a teenager.
Maybe Ann Coulter hates liberals so much because as a child one broke her heart as well...
and maybe a young terrorist chick broke Bush's heart...
/sarcasm
What explains Clintons dislike of Lickenstein?
No kidding. Our entire policy towards Iran is based on Rice getting her heart broken by a former boyfriend. Can't get anymore absurd than that.
too funny!
let's send em a phaillic nuclear bomb or two
"Somewhat mysteriously, he added: "This is the result of an investigation by a woman MP, who cannot be named."
Alrighty then, this MUST be true!
I saw something about this earlier. LoL.
Stamps.
What a sexist bastard!
Because...?
Coming from a bunch of intellectual giants who argue that GWB started a war to finish what hi father started, I fully expect this to become part of their talking points in the very near future!

AP should write an article about how the attacks on 911 were made possible in part because Bob Torricelli led the charge to outlaw communication between the FBI and the CIA, as part of his quest to get into Bianca Jaggers pants.
The story even has a happy ending. For Bob anyway.
