Photo oops!

Iraq is so complicated... But what could bring more glee to the liberals who are sweating under the strain of civility this week facing the political canonization of Ronald Reagan (may he RIP), than this photo of Donald Rumsfeld cordially shaking Saddam's hand, in his role as special envoy to Iraq for Reagan's administration.

This page, from GWU's National Security Archive, has plenty of context for the long-standing relationship between the US and Saddam, culminating in recent unpleasant events in Iraq.

I want to put the whole country on ginkgo to improve their memories...
