While he's
off at Cannes picking at the finger food and swilling champagne in between touting Fidel's health care system two prominent Iraqi leaders recently came to America to
partake of ours:
Iraqi President Jalal Talabani, fighting obesity, has checked into the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota for a series of medical tests that could last for a few weeks, the clinic said on Monday.
Further south SCIRI leader Abdul-Aziz al-Hakim
was examined in Houston:
The Washington Post reported Saturday that al-Hakim arrived in Houston on Thursday to meet with specialists at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center.
Unfortunately al-Hakim has lung cancer, hopefully treatable. Nothing brings people together like health issues and US medical treatment is world renowned. It's something we've been able to share with both sick Iraqis and Afghanis since the war began. Yes, there are some problems but throwing out the baby with the bathwater by diluting the best medical system in the history of man just doesn't seem like the answer.
