Senator Kerry wishes all Iranians a "Happy Nowruz"

Kerry, who chairs the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, hailed "the more than one million Iranian Americans of all religious backgrounds who share this day," a 3,000-year-old holiday that falls on Sunday with the start of spring.

Nice message. (I think his son-in-law is of Iranian descent.)

1. Strengthening diplomatic relations.

Always Kerry's strong suit.

2. Except Clinton and Bayh have been rattling sabres to keep anti-Iran rhetoric in headlines.

Which is exactly why I didn't want such a committed hawk as Sec of State. For the few reasonable positions she advocates, she is still not worth it when it comes to the regions of greater concern - especially in regard to the Mideast and oil-producing nations.

Kerry seems to have a knack for the most reasonable position. He and Biden (a reformed hawk) are up against too many hawks who know how to get the headlines they want and the Bushloving corpmedia hawks in lockstep with them, unfortunately.

3. Speaking of Iranians...

I just stumbled onto this guy from YouTube and I wonder if JK has ever heard of him:

Stand-up comedian Jody Kamali is also Terry the Odd Job Man.

Mr. Kamali is from Bristol, England and is half Iranian. I think he's somebody JK might like.
