It's sparked a wrath of fury - one feminist campaigner described Herman's theories as "gibberish between a Stone Age bat and a Mother's Cross" - the Nazi medal of honour awarded to mothers of more than three children. Clearly, linking anything to Nazism is going to cause a row, but it's an interesting debate.

Nancy Pelosi - going it alone?
The , spokeswoman Dana Perino stressed Monday that the Bush administration objected to all visits to Syria, as, "it sends the wrong message to have high-level U.S. officials going there (to Syria) to have photo opportunities that Assad then exploits".

If you're in the States, let us know if it's getting people talking.
