Wild Thing’s comment………
The female violinist should have gone and changed into a burka like this.
Below is the story of why.

Iranian Walks Out Of Dinner With Condi
(CBS/AP)
Iran’s foreign minister walked out of a dinner of diplomats where he was seated directly across from Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, on the pretext that the female violinist entertaining the gathering was dressed too revealingly.
“I don’t know which woman he was afraid of, the woman in the red dress or the secretary of state,” State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said Friday, regarding the actions of Iran’s Manouchehr Mottaki.
Rice herself was questioned by reporters about the lack of a direct conversation with Mottaki, even though it appeared she was “chasing” him.
“Uh, well, you could ask him why he didn’t make an effort,” she replied. Then she laughed. “Look, I’m not given to chasing anyone.”
So the face to face between Rice and Mottaki never happened, reports CBS News correspondent Charlie D’Agata. Instead, U.S. and Iranian delegations met at a lower, “expert” level, which while significant, is not a first.
“Our officials did, as they did in Baghdad, have an opportunity to exchange views about the substance of this meeting,” Rice said.
The dinner episode Thursday night amid a major regional conference on Iraq perfectly revealed how hard it was to bring together the top diplomats of the two rival nations.
Going into the summit, the Iraqi government had hoped for a breakthrough meeting between Rice and Mottaki. Instead, their only direct contact was a wary exchange of pleasantries over lunch Thursday, punctuated by a wry, somewhat mysterious comment by Mottaki.
Mottaki walked out of the diplomats’ dinner on the pretext that the female violinist entertaining the gathering was dressed too revealingly.
That islamic culture thing again. The “revealing” violinist probably gave brave Mottaki an embarrassing woodie.
There’s nothing like a sultry violinist to light your falafel and rustle your date palm.
Women are the key to changing the Islamic world, along with bombs and guns. No culture survives or thrives by suppressing its women. Consider that the birth rate in the Islamic world is over five times higher than in The West, the need for women’s liberation is even more important. Stop the madness.
I understand that they don’t want the Paris Hilton model in the Islamic world, but there’s a range of possibilities from the toothless Palestinian hag squealing about the success of the 911 hijackers to a drug-addled, half-naked airhead in a drop-top Aston Martin.
Too bad for Mottaki. He truly missed out on some great music!
And the great conversation with Condi.
Spoiled brat.
A sexy violinist and a chance to have dinner with Condi and the dude walks out? He must be gay.
One picture just isn’t enough to judge whether her dress is too revealing, I need more pictures to make a fair and honest judgement.
Any excuse to snub an American overture and also snub the black female Secretary of State. It’s just another insult to the Bush administration.
Manouchehr Mottaki would probably prefer to hear a naked fat boy fart than a pretty girl sing. Wasn’t the Mo guy a pedophile too.?
I’m with Mark. More, please, and soon.
Violin you, say, a real virtuoso, my my talent like that is wasted over there in moslim land.
“A sexy violinist and a chance to have dinner with Condi and the dude walks out? He must be gay.“
It looks like the guy pulled-out before he could prove to the World what a great “master-debator” he really was.
Tom, hahahaha she might have.
Rhod, your right, maybe the women will get to have had enough and start to take a stand on things. I don’t see how they can love wearing things that cover them up like they have to do and all the other things, how they are treated etc.
Lynn, yes that is just what he acted like, a grown man knowing how important the occassion was and to do what he did, yes a spoiled Brat having to have his own way.
When I read this I thought of how Condi dresses to be ok there and how this man could not even give a little on his feelings and come half way. What a jerk he is.
Bob, hahaha maybe he is. heh heh
Mark, LMAO, how cute.
I tried to find the sexiest one I could…hahaha
Jck………… hahahaha
“naked fat boy fart”
Rhod, LOL so funny.
Mark, I agree, isn’t that talent wasted over there. That man sure did not appreciate fine music.
Melt…….Hahahahahahahaa
He sure did. heh heh
Frankly, if ALL 72 virgins look like this ‘Casbah of the Month’ beauty…no wonder the Islamos are
blowing themselves up! But many would rather ‘ride’ camels, eh?
