   I still remember that smug look on his face, followed by the matter-of-fact remarks that had western journalists laugh out loud.

�I�m now going to show you a picture of the luckiest man in Iraq,� General Norman Schwarzkopf, known as �Stormin� Norman, said at a press conference sometime in 1991, as he showed a video of US bombs blasting an Iraqi bridge, seconds after the Iraqi driver managed to cross it.

But then, a far more unjust invasion and war followed in 2003, following a decade-long siege that cost Iraq a million of its children and its entire economy.

It marked the end of sanity and the dissipation of any past illusions that the United States was a friend of the Arabs.
