I hadn't heard that. I don't have a cite. This came up in midst of a conversation with some Indian diplomats.

Sorry!" See, the fact is that no country in the world would go an attack the US if the CPA storms their embassy in Baghdad. It would be easier to just accept the apology and pretend to believe the excuse. :) > >I think the embassy would get raided > >and Saddam would die anyway. > > We'd probably just blast hardcore rock music at it. :-) That wouldn't be much of a problem. :) Ritu GCU Tomahawks OTOH.... _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
