This excellent analysis of some key US cables on Iraq released by wikileaks is by far the most interesting thing I've read all week. Based on all the narratives I've read thus far, the US was double-dealing in Iraq and essentially baited Saddam into the first Gulf War. Don't believe everything you read....unless it's a leaked cable. Turns out, "Saddam Hussein undoubtedly deceived the US ambassador, albeit also to his own detriment. But she didn't make it particularly difficult for him." Whether you support wikileaks or not, it is undeniable that the glimpses they provide into the world of international diplomacy is absolutely fascinating.
