"A Heart to Heart Talk"
By GARY LEUPP

"Hamid Karzai, hand-picked by Washington to pose as president of the broken country of Afghanistan, says his government has "very, very good, very, very close relations [and] will continue to have good relations with Iran." He declares on CNN, "So far, Iran has been a helper" in fighting terrorism.
Nuri al-Maliki, favored by Washington as the most viable prime minister to pretend to lead the bleeding country of Iraq, says Iran is doing "positive and constructive" work in "providing security and fighting terrorism" in his country.
Both of these puppet regimes in nations bordering Iran seek to maintain close relations with the Islamic Republic. But puppets aren't supposed to compose their own lines, and the puppeteer George Bush seems somewhat irked at these words.......
I'm not suggesting either has the integrity to say something like that. The likelihood is slim, but if the puppets indeed started to talk back (like the pathological liar marionette Pinocchio in Carlo Collodi's story who ultimately becomes a real person) they might acquire the status of actual human beings---and even help thwart the designs of monsters......"
