What a Novel Thought...

Instead of Karen Hughes being our representative to the Arabic world could:

"send someone in her place the next time Bush wants an American official to personally make his case in the Arab world. The ideal candidate? Well, someone who is Arab-American, or who speaks Arabic, or who has lived in the region would be nice. After all, if we want Muslims to listen to someone sing the praises of the United States, it would help if that person spoke their language--literally or figuratively."

Maybe someone who endlessly repeats "I love kids" in Arabic would be more effective...
