The gentle art of sarcasm
If revenge is a dish best served cold, it is enhanced even more by a vinaigrette of gentle sarcasm. John Howard normally eschews sarcasm, which makes it all the more effective when he does employ it, as he did in a recent radio interview. On the prospect of action by the UN to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons, he had this to say:
"This will be an interesting test of the United Nations. People who are critical of George Bush, and myself and Tony Blair and others because we didn't keep endlessly going back to the United Nations in 2003 now have an opportunity to see how effectively the United Nations will work."
Indeed.
