Iran’s foreign minister walked out of a dinner of diplomats where he was seated directly across from U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, complaining that the female violinist was dressed too revealingly. “I dont know which woman he was afraid of, the woman in the red dress or the secretary of state,” State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said.
Here is my favorite part of the show:
Going into the summit, the Iraqi government had hoped for a breakthrough meeting between Rice and Mottaki. Instead, their only direct contact was exchanging pleasantries over lunch.
At Thursday's lunch, Mottaki greeted the gathered diplomats with the Arabic phrase, "As-salama aleikum," a Muslim greeting often used by Iran's Farsi speakers meaning "Peace be upon you," according to an Iraqi official who was present.
Rice replied to him in English, "Hello," then added: "Your English is better than my Arabic," according to the Iraqi official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the lunch was private.

Ahmadinejad is already plotting
Sounds like the Iranian President has his own problems with the public. He is not different from the Gerbil.
And Condi did not do such a hot job of working with Iran Rice/Iran
Condi is just a girlfriday. She has no expience in talking to foreign or creating a relationship.
Mottaki said ,"The United States must accept the responsibilities arising from the occupation of Iraq, and should not finger point or put the blame on others.”
And he is right.
