Refusing the Dole

Iran doesn't want Elizabeth Dole to come and oversee earthquake relief - at least not right now. Word is that both Iran and the U.S. are saying this is merely a matter of logistics at this time when the situation has yet to be completely assessed.

I might add that it could also be that Iran is not keen to be accepting even the perception of strings from the U.S., on whose "axis of evil" list it still sits. If it can tend to and fund the relief effort with help from other countries, then it might be well worth the avoidance of handing the U.S. a piece of humanitarian propaganda.

Just a thought.
