		...Khalil would be the first to admit that this wretched edifice may well be unworthy of serious discussion...
		...Samir al-Khalil recounts how, in 1985, President Saddam Hussein enunciated his vision of a victory monument and how, four years later, he rode his white stallion under a pair of giant steel arches standing at either end of a huge parade ground in central Baghdad...
		...Khalil does this by drawing both on his personal experience in Iraq and by immersing himself in English-language scholarship on tyranny and on the Middle East...

		Kanan Makiya wrote (as Samir Al Khalil) of the reaction of Kenneth Armitrage after he visited the Martyr's Monument "Kenneth Armitrage, the internationally renowned sculptor, is said to have been so overwhelmed by it during a visit in 1986, that he hugged the artist in a fit of emotion quite uncharacteristic of an Englishman."

	Iraq: Their Regime Change and Ours
		The Bush administration's clumsy attempt to connect al Qaeda with Saddam Hussein in a run up to Gulf War II is transparent pretext.
		Of the "larger" insistence that Iraq may furnish al Qaeda with weapons of mass destruction this, if sincerely believed, would be the height of political incompetence on the part of Iraq, a weakening of the instinct for self-preservation which Saddam has rarely exhibited.
		It is, according to Samir al-Khalil's definitive The Republic of Fear, a direct offspring of European fascism borrowing from it its racism and anti-Semitism, its use of terror, its fuehrer principle and its deification of the warrior blood cult.

		Salim, having recovered from the mechanics of his tribulations, shoved the matter aside as one might the weather or a natural disaster of some kind, and pressed on with his otherwise perfectly mundane life.
		"The test of war," Khalil writes, "points to a large degree of Ba'thist success in moulding the country's youth in their own image." This point is echoed by Dr. Pelletiere, Lt. Col.

		There he argued that Iraq under Saddam "should not be dismissed as a run-of-the-mill dictatorship with equally nasty counterparts all over the Third World," since it had become, in the 1980s, a totalitarian state.
