Nailing It Down

Nailing It Down

Michael Totten relates a conversation with Ahman Al Rikaby, former Director of Radio Free Iraq and current Director of Iraq's Radio Dijla:

At one point, apropos of something I can't remember, Ahman said to me: "I can tell you in one sentence how my country feels about your country."

"Really?" I said. "Can you really boil it down to one sentence?"

"Yes," he said. "And it is this: Thank you for coming, now please leave and take us with you."

I laughed because it seemed totally contradictory and totally right.

It does indeed. Read it all.
