Condi will be in Oman…

…next week. So brace up for some bitter traffic curbs during her visit to Muscat. Dick Cheney’s visit is still afresh in my mind; I almost waited for 30 minutes for his huge convoy to pass by and for cops to clear the barricades at key intersections. I know Condi is just a secretary of state, and may not have layers of security in place, but you never know – ‘fussy’ American agencies will take no chances.
