Subject: RE: Peculiar Irony
I don't know if Bush Sr.'s use of Saddam was meant ironically, but I do remember his pronunciation of it was unique, like Adam, with an S. As in the parody "The only thing this ruthless dictator understands is the clear and consistent mis-pronunciation of his name. Saddam."
It's a bit ironic and very troubling when a nation's military is so much more effective than their diplomacy.
