This is especially true of Dr. Ghaxi Fayssal Hussein who was assigned ambassador to Manila just before the war broke out. He is amiable,  very soft-spoken and quite knowledgeable about politics.

It was a bull elephant trampling down a helpless antler, or if you will, a Pacific cyclone knocking down a girl’s panties from the clothesline. But the rationale was that America had to invade Iraq because (1) the bloodthirsty anti-American tyrant Saddam Hussein had to be captured dead or alive and (2) Saddam’s weapons of mass destruction had to be destroyed lest they eventually ravage the heartland of America.
