Nobody who has seen that footage — of terrified men dragged by goons from the room, while the survivors weep with fear and relief and Hussein indulges in a luxurious cigar — is likely to forget it.
There was another video-tape of Sadam. I forget the occasion, but he was allowing a British family to leave Iraq. He brought the young child to his side while he acted fatherly, and made the boy’s parents look on. I’ll always remember the look on their faces.
It was only symbolic, but he knew the fear he was instilling, and he enjoyed it.
“Made it Ma, top of the World”,
