Re: Saddam
In 1974, the french prime minister of the time, mr Raymond Barre, went to Iraq to discuss oil and nuclear energy. At one point he's sitting in a car next to Saddam and feel something cold on his rear. He moves a bit to discover a gun (obviously forgotten by the dictator) . Saddam smiles saying one can only trust oneself (something like that). Barre still remembers that incident.
