I have this theory about the hubbub surrounding Iranian president Ahmadinejad’s visit to the Big Apple–I think the neocons who are chanting the loudest for war with Iran are pants-wettingly terrified of actually facing the man, mano a mano, and having to say directly, out loud, what they think, as well as face the fact that many Iranians had the gall to support us after 9/11 (which undercuts the neocon view of all Iranians as Evil Brown People). It’s so much easier to keep him at arm’s length and portray him as a cartoon villain, isn’t it?
Hmm. I know several people who think that mano a mano means “man-to-man”. Tell me you’re not one of those people, Dave. Say it ain’t so.

I’ll have you know that use of mano-a-mano in this context is perfectly cromulent.
