Look at the buffoon to the right: he is the foreign minister of Bahrain. He is really proud of himself because he is seated next to the Secretary of State. Why does he enjoy this dubious honor? You see he has been really working hard to push for normalization with Israel, and he has written in praise of normalization and at one point even suggested inviting Israel to join the Arab League. Kid you not. For these buffoonish stances, the US government has been rewarding Bahrain, which already is the headquarters of the Fifth Fleet. Look at him: he looks thrilled. The fellow to her right (left in the picture) is the Kuwait foreign minister who insists that he be addressed as Dr. (AFP)
