Iraq's foreign Minister, Sabri, said the following today or yesterday...
-----
He said Iraq was hoping to revive the good trade ties it enjoyed with the United States before Iraq invaded Kuwait in 1990. The United States led the 1991 Gulf War ( news - web sites) that forced Iraq out of Kuwait.
"We've been doing this with the United States up to 1990, we've been importing one-fourth of all American exports of rice ... Americans were importing more than 60 percent of our oil exports," Sabri said. "We can do business again."
"
...made me chuckle.
