On some, not many, car windshields and rear windows I saw in Jordan there was Saddam Hussein's effigy. What an image from the past. I remember the images of the U.S. troops during the operation Desert Shield, attacking with tracing rounds, which looked like green comets across the night sky as they were broadcast on TV. The late Iraqi president, at the time of the Gulf War, was politically close to King Hussein of Jordan.

Another war from the past. Another cause for more conflict and acrimony amongst nations and peoples. Decades later, just a faded image on a windshield.
