"We know that you have come, not as the president of an invading nation, but as a friend who wishes to renew a commitment to our people...It gives us pain that the visit is so short and that the masses cannot in the present circumstances come out and give you the welcome you deserve, but the day will come when the millions will come out to welcome the best friend that the Mesopotamian people have ever had, and we will be among the most devoted and allied people that America will ever have.

"The bones in the mass graves salute you, Avenger of the Bones. Hail, friend and ally. Hail, Sheikh of Sheikhs."

That brought a tear to my eye.
