Yeah, everyone knows that the daughter of the Kuwaiti Ambassador to the USA after finishing boarding school in Switzerland for the day jumps in her Learjet to fly to Kuwait to volunteer at a Red Crescent hospital for a few hours before starting her homework.
I am especially disturbed by how Scott Ritter had been demonized by those beating the war drums for war in Iraq, and I can only shake my head at how much this campaign for war in Iraq is making the US look like a bunch of buffoons and liars and it destroys the possibility of receiving any foreign support in future legitimate anti-terrorism campaigns.

Ritter said he was first invited to Baghdad last year by the Iraqi government after the publication of his book "Endgame," which argued that the continuation of economic sanctions on Iraq was more "evil" than doing business with Saddam Hussein. "They were shocked by my position in the book," Ritter said.
Ritter said that several months later, at a hearing on Capitol Hill, he met Iraqi-born American businessman Shakir Alkafajii, who had heard Ritter attack U.S. policy toward Iraq. Alkafajii asked what Ritter could do to end the sanctions and break the impasse in relations between the United States and Iraq. "I said I could do a documentary," Ritter answered.
Alkafajii, who is accompanying Ritter as a "translator and cultural adviser," secured the travel visas for the crew and agreed to put up a $400,000 line of credit to finance the documentary.
