"So who is Kerry!"
"He was nominated by the Democrats to run for president in the 2004 elections, he did not succeed, and he is currently a Senator and chairman designate of Senate Foreign Relations Committee."
"It was not a question."
"Sorry? Oh I see, it was an exclamation mark - sorry I didn't notice."
"Isn't Kerry not even a comma as far as the US government is concerned!"
"What is this reference to a punctuation?"
"By a comma I mean he doesn't even merit a stop in US politics and as Kerry is not even a comma I am implying that he is really a nobody! Why did our President and Prime Minister feel the need to meet with him in that case?"
"He represents the President-elect of the US, the country that gives you money and weapons, and he is the chair - designate of the powerful Foreign Relations Committee."
"So where does Hillary come in?"
"She will be part of the government but she must take along the Foreign Relations Committee for best results."
"My point is that the US is dispatching all and sundry to our shores to rap us on the knuckles and I am getting angry at that."
"Agreed but you must remember that the world has changed and we are on the defensive now. The government must act or else face isolation."
"I propose we go for isolation. That away there will be no foreign trips by our travel weary Jiyalas and..."
"They like to travel."
"Oh well, then we would not import all these fancy cars and all and tighten our belts and..."
"Security requires even fancier and more expensive SUVs than the Mercedes of the past; besides there are many in this government who operate like their Afghan counterparts."
"If you mean they are linked to Taliban then I take strong exception to your statement."
"I mean they have assets outside the country."
"Oh, I get it."
