A Tribute from Iraq to Dick Cheney
“Rest in peace,” Iraqi government spokesperson Bassem al-Awadi said in a eulogy for the former U. S. vice president shared with Newsweek. “Without delving into the intentions behind actions, the change that took place in Iraq under your leadership and that of President Bush in 2003 was profound. Despite all the events that followed, the transformations Iraq witnessed after the fall of Saddam’s regime were vast and astonishing, though many have tried to distort them to serve their own interests,” Awadi said. “The numbers are remarkable, Mr. Dick Cheney, and too many to list here.” Iraqis are even more divided on.
