Stupid question, but has anyone in the “press” asked King Zero about this “discrepancy”? Why didn’t he order the flag half-staff for Thatcher?
Hussein did not do so for Thatcher, someone he clearly did not respect. But did so for Mandela, his communist mentor and a man he has claimed to have studied. I think instead of asking him why he did not do so for Thatcher, someone should ask him why he did not do so for Thatcher but did so for Mandela. Make him explain why one deserved that respect while apparently, in his mind, the other did not.
