#1 I thought Saddam was already in France, representing Iraq.

#2 somewhat of an FU to the US isn't it? You want a woman? Ok...we'll give you a woman.

#3 Hmmm ... not sure I see it that way, B. Any Iraqi ambassador is going to have to show s/he represents Iraq, not the US.

They chose someone who can communicate well to Americans and presumably, also to Iraqis. And it does send an interesting message to the Islamic fundamentalists.

#4 well I'm glad to hear that. It would have been a shame if the Council was willing to send a negative message so soon. I'll take it as good news :-)
