...attacks to rouse domestic and international sympathy to lobby against the sanctions that are hurting his country," says Dowell. For now, Saddam appears to have hit upon an effective strategy. The question for U.S. officials is whether they can come up with a valid counter-strategy. Until they do, expect more clashes -- and more American frustration...
...would expect otherwise? If a scandal hangs around long enough and becomes familiar enough, it takes on the quality of a melodrama, pushed along by characters that quickly harden into recognizable types.

Being dead doesn't mean you can't go right on being controversial. Look at Tom Jefferson, 172 years without a twitch, but he's in hot water. And the FBI hasn't even released his file...
