Woman gives sex advice on
popular Arab television show
U.N. Ambassador to step down
after Senate confirmation fails
WASHINGTON — Unable
to win Senate confirmation,
U.N. Ambassador John
Bolton will step down when
his temporary appointment
expires within weeks, the
White House said Monday.
Bolton’s nomination has
languished in the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee
for more than a year, blocked
by Democrats and several
Republicans. Sen. Lincoln
Chafee, a moderate
Republican who lost in the
midterm elections Nov. 7 that
swept Democrats to power in
both houses of Congress, was
adamantly opposed to
Bolton.
Critics have questioned
Bolton’s brusque style and
NATIONAL
whether he could be an effec
tive public servant who could
help bring reform to the U.N.
President Bush, in a state
ment, said he was “deeply dis
appointed that a handful of
United States senators pre
vented Ambassador Bolton
from receiving the up or down
vote he deserved in the
Senate.”
The White House resub
mitted Bolton’s nomination
last month.

CAIRO, Egypt — Heba
Kotb is a conservative
Muslim, wears an Islamic
head scarf and goes on televi
sion once a week to talk —
frankly and in great detail —
about sex.
On her show, “Big Talk,”
Kotb answers questions from
Muslims all over the Middle
East about the most intimate
bedroom issues with an open
ness that is shocking and rev
olutionary in a society where
discussing the subject is
taboo.
“How do I talk about these
issues? Very seriously,” the
Egyptian sexologist says. “I
put on a mask-like face and
make sure I speak in the right
tone of voice.”
She also does it by talking
about sex in an Islamic light,
arguing that the faith is in
favor of pleasure for both men
and women, with one impor
tant caveat — that it be only
in the context of marriage.
“I’m very proud of my reli
gion,” Kotb told The
Associated Press in an inter
view at Cairo University,
where she teaches forensic
medicine. “My studies
revealed to me more and
more how Islam was ahead in
all sexual matters ... I discov
ered that Islam understood
sex long before the rest of the
world.”
Much of her advice is
straight biology — laying out
facts rarely aired elsewhere.
Bush, Iraqi leader
discuss violence
WASHINGTON
President Bush told an Iraqi
power broker on Monday that
the United States was not
satisfied with the progress of
efforts to stop the sharp esca
lation of violence in Iraq.
Bush met at the White
House with Abdul-Aziz al-
Hakim, the Shiite leader of
the largest bloc in Iraq’s par
liament.
Al-Hakim said that he
“vehemently” opposes any
regional or international
effort to solve Iraq’s problems
that goes around the unity
government in Baghdad.
“Iraq should be in a posi
tion to solve Iraq’s problems,”
al-Hakim said.
The president said he
spoke with al-Hakim for more
than an hour and said they
had a “very constructive con
versation.”
“I assured him that the
U.S. supports his work and
the work of the prime minis
ter to unify the country,” Bush
said, referring to Iraqi Prime
Minister Nouri al-Maliki.
Al-Hakim, after what he
called a “very clear” meeting
with Condoleezza Rice, told
reporters in Arabic that “we
have asked for the American
forces to stay in Iraq” to
enable Iraqi security.

Supreme Court
debates busing
WASHINGTON — The
Supreme Court on Monday
wrestled with voluntary
integration plans in public
schools, asking whether
programs in Louisville, Ky.,
and Seattle are acceptable
moves toward student
diversity or other names for
illegal racial quotas.
Justice Anthony
Kennedy, who could hold
the decisive vote, joined his
conservative colleagues in
expressing deep skepticism
about the programs.
The Seattle district
seems to be telling its high
school students who are
subject to the plan that
“everybody can get a meal,”
but that only certain people
can get “dessert,” Kennedy
said. He was referring to the
fact that some students did
not get assigned to the
schools they preferred
based on their race.
About Louisville’s sys
tem-wide assignment plan,
Kennedy said, “It’s a trou
bling case.”
The court’s four liberal
justices indicated they see
no constitutional problem
with school districts that
factor in a student’s race in
an effort to have individual
school populations approxi
mate the racial makeup of
the entire system. Federal
appeals courts have upheld
both programs.
In Louisville, the school
system spent 25 years under
a federal court order to
desegregate its system. The
school board decided to
keep much of the court-
ordered plan in place to pre
vent schools from re-segre-
gating.
“What’s constitutionally
required one day is consti
tutionally prohibited the
next day? That’s very odd,”
Justice Ruth Bader
Ginsburg said.
Francis Mellen Jr., repre
senting the Louisville
schools, called the plan a
success story that enjoys
broad community support,
including among parents of
white and black students.

Marine sentenced
to jail in rape case
MANILA, Philippines — A
young U.S. Marine faces 40
years in jail after being con
victed Monday of rape in a
landmark case that has
become a symbol for women’s
rights and national sovereign
ty in the Philippines.
Makati Regional Trial
Court Judge Benjamin Pozon
rejected Lance Cpl. Daniel
Smith’s claim that the woman
was a willing partner, saying
she was too drunk
to have consented to having
sex.
Three other Marines were
acquitted of complicity for
allegedly cheering on Smith in
the back of a moving van.
