The Black Knight

Sydney Morning Herald

Monday January 28, 1991

SIR: Saddam Hussein reminds me of the Black Knight portrayed by John Cleese in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Armless and legless, bouncing indignantly about on his stumps he shrieks: "Come and fight, you bastard -it's only a flesh wound." Sadly, the amputated limbs represent the flower of Iraq's young and fit - and Saddam Hussein's legacy will blight Iraq for generations.

M.H. MacKenzie-Orr,

Jess Place,

January 24 Hughes (ACT).
