| Aznar to teach at Georgetown |
| 2004-04-06 |
| Outgoing Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar, a close ally of U.S. President George W. Bush, has accepted a post as associate professor at Georgetown University in Washington, a government spokesman said on Monday. Aznar, who retired at the election after two successive terms, has until now been coy about what he would do next and speculation over his future has provided endless material for political pundits. The Catholic university, which was founded in 1789 and ranks former U.S. President Bill Clinton amongst its alumni, said that Aznar had been named Distinguished Scholar in the Practice of Global Leadership. "I am greatly looking forward to this opportunity with Georgetown University. It will be a privilege for me to join the faculty of this world-class institution in the fields of international relations and political studies," Aznar was quoted as saying on the university's Web page. Aznar, who angered some of his European counterparts with his support for the U.S.-led war in Iraq last year, will teach seminars on contemporary European politics and transatlantic relations, the university said. |

| #4 Unfortunately, I think Mahathir has a resume that should give him the inside track then unless Kim retires shortly. Maybe we’ll do better when its Antarctica’s turn. If Kim gives up nukes, I picture him on the podium receiving a Nobel Peace Prize. |

| #3 DF -- How is it possible to run it down any further? I don't know if any of you guys saw that "Frontline" program last week about Rwanda, but if anyone can look at Kofi without puking after seeing it, you have stronger stomachs than most. Virtually anyone is an improvement over him. |
