My friend from Iraq, who holds a PhD in architecture, is preparing to return from America to his homeland. For him, the fall of Saddam's regime is a dream come true. He hopes the US stays in Iraq for a long time (a different Iraqi perspective than that emphasized in our American media).

I asked him how Saddam and Saddam’s sons had become so profoundly evil, in contrast to the general Iraqi population. His response: a polluted blood line. Hmmm.
