King Minces No Words
Chile(AP) – The king of Spain told Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez to “shut up” Saturday during a heated exchange at a summit of leaders from Latin America, Spain and Portugal.
Chavez repeatedly referred to former Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar as a “fascist.”
Aznar, a conservative who was an ally of Bush as prime minister, “is a fascist,” Chavez said in a speech at the Ibero-American summit in Santiago, Chile. “Fascists are not human. A snake is more human.”
Spain’s current socialist prime minister, Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, responded during his own allotted time by urging Chavez to be more diplomatic in his words and respect other leaders despite political differences.
Chavez repeatedly tried to interrupt, but his microphone was off.
Spanish King Juan Carlos, seated next to Zapatero, angrily turned to Chavez and said, “Why don’t you shut up?”

A Letter From Amman
I was just looking at an old backup CD of royal photos and other items, when I found this letter from 2003. It is a response to my letter praising Queen Noor’s memoirs:
Sun, 1 Jun 2003
Dear Mandy,
Her Majesty Queen Noor is most grateful for your kind and supportive words regarding her recently published book, Leap of Faith, Memoirs of an Unexpected Life, and has requested me to convey her most sincere appreciation for sharing your thoughts with her. It is always very encouraging to hear such positive feedback from kind individuals, such as yourself, who take the time to write. Her Majesty’s book serves only to strengthen her commitment to promote sustainable development, cross-cultural and interfaith understanding and dialogue, and God willing, global peace. Queen Noor sends you her very best wishes.
Yours sincerely,
Hania Dakhgan
Private Secretary to HM Queen Noor
Amman- Jordan
It was so exciting to receive this. I greatly admire Queen Noor and find the Middle East – Jordan in particular – to be fascinating.
