A small group of us have just returned from lunch with the American Ambassador. As you would expect the subject of Iraq was high on the discussion agenda.

I was the only female MP and put forward my solution to the war in Iraq as a ‘girl thing’ because it is so different from everyone else’s and I seem to be the only person with this point of view!

When I had finished (see blog entry for 10th November 2006) one of the Ambassadors staff said “Nadine, that’s not just a girl thing, Henry Kissinger said exactly the same thing over the weekend”

I’m touched and humbled; Kissinger is obviously reading my blog!
