萨达姆

Asked in later years, following his capture in a "spider hole" by American invaders, why he had done this, Saddam first blustered that it was because Kuwait was rightfully Iraq's 19th province. Then, in his slightly nasal whine, he growled,"When I get something into my head I act. That's just the way I am."

后来在&蜘蛛洞&中被美国人俘获后，当被问及为何要入侵科威特时，萨达姆先是咆哮着说科威特本来就是伊拉克的第19个省，而后又瓮声瓮气地吼叫道：&我想干什么就干什么，我就是这样的人！&

人们高呼&杀人犯该死&并焚烧萨达姆的画像。

Even after the depredations of Saddam Hussein, many of those Ms Steavenson talked to still hankered after someone like him.

Even Syria, which Manuchehr Mottaki, the Iranian foreign minister, visited this week, differs sharply with Iran on what is good for their common neighbour, Iraq: Iran is far more sympathetic to the new Shia-dominated government, while Syria hankers after the old domination by its sister Baath party, once run by Saddam Hussein.

即便是伊朗外长穆塔基这周出访的邻国叙利亚，也在对伊拉克的重建问题上与伊朗有很大的分歧：伊朗非常同情伊拉克的什叶派新政府，而叙利亚则希望曾由萨达姆领导的它的姐妹党，过去执政的，阿拉伯复兴社会党（译注3）能重新执政。
