Since America is typically represented by an eagle. Saddam should have read up on his Muslim passages...
The following verse is from the Quran, (the Islamic Bible)
Quran (9:11) -- For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle. The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah and lo, while some of the people trembled in despair still more rejoiced; for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah; and there was peace.
ObFood: Had some great couscous at a Senegalese restaurant, which finally prompted me to try some at home. We'd had a small bag of it for ages that I hadn't gotten around to trying, so... Cooked it with chicken broth and some chopped scallions, salt and pepper to taste. Incredible! I could see this as future comfort food all by itself, as well as a nice side dish. Oh, this was the small- grained kind, not the pearl couscous, FYI... Not many stores seem to carry couscous in bulk, it's mostly box mixes. Oh, well.

This is something to think about!

I adore couscous! In addition to what you did, I like to add a couple of cloves of chopped garlic to it. Yum!

When I make couscous, I heat up some olive oil in a large, heavy bottomed pot and toss in some chopped garlic, onion, a bit of dried chilli pepper, and cumin, then stir in some coucous and chopped dried apricot and add hot chicken broth. Then I take it off the burner, slap the top on the pot and let it sit for a few minutes.

Sounds wonderful! I'll definitely be experimenting with it more in the future, and I'll keep this in mind, thanks. 🙂
