Subject: RE: BS: Bliar shakes hands with Gaddaffi
There was an old story about Amin and a jigsaw puzzle...

Apparently he was in his 'study', accompanied by his advisors one day. He was trying to fit a piece of sky that he had in his hand in to a vacant space in the puzzle. No matter which way he rotated the piece, it was becoming obvious that it wasn't the correct one, and not wishing to criticise him too much, one of his advisors commented, "Perhaps, Excellency, it does not fit".
Whereupon, Amin took a large paperweight from the table, and hammered the piece of the jigsaw into place, shouting "I'll make it fit".....
