This photo was chosen, not because it is part of a media blitz that was taking place, but because of the secrecy of the meeting it was taken at. The meeting between the then Special Envoy to Reagan and Saddam Hussein shows the depths of our Cold War involvement throughout the world.
The United States and the rest of the world are much closer than most of us in the general public likes to realize. There was for many years a lot of secret meetings going on between the military dictators around the globe and the U.S. This photo is merely one example of many that could be used to illustrate this point. This photo however holds significant importance as the last of the combat troops have just been removed from the Iraqi soil. The extent of these secret dealing is still being felt and will be felt for years to come.
