In Egypt, officials are busy telling reporters that while President Hosni Mubarak opposes a war, he has absolutely no time for Saddam. In a scathing commentary headlined THE MADNESS OF BAGHDAD and written by editor Ibrahim Nafie, the government daily al-Ahram blamed future chaos in Iraq on the "megalomania of some in Baghdad...
