Check out last Friday's (04/25) Wall Street Journal opinions section on  
Tariq Aziz.  They actually translated his last name as 'rock'?!

I entered "aziz glorious past" in the Google News area
http://news.google.com/
and was surprised by how many newspapers carried this news item in the
last few days!

Oh yeah, I heard it on the BBC, so it must be true!
Anybody notice how they are vaunting their knowledge of Arabic all over  
the
airwaves?
Then I found it on several links to newspaper stories.
This is typical of the way falsities about the Middle East quickly gain  
the
status of facts.
You are right, it does nothing to alleviate a dark mood.
