Don't take this the wrong way- i understand what you are saying- but I'm not sure he thought he was taking the money "on behalf" of Iraq. That is your spin. What comes across pretty clearly is this guy has a temper, and also a very definite opinion about Iraq and the US actions against Iraq. I think he "admits" he wanted to get HIS view across. And he took money from someone to finance it- though it doesn't sound like it was for personal gain. I don't know who that someone was, or how closely tied they were to Iraq- I sense that you do not know this either.

Sometimes interests coincide even in people who are enemies. This man could very well be opposed to Sadaam and still want to produce this movie. I am opposed to Sadaam, but am also opposed to invading Iraq. I simply think it would be against international law, and a very bad sign to the Arab world, and an equally bad precedent for our behavior regarding Very Bad Leaders- of whom there are multitudes. Sadaam isn't even at the top of the list (imo) as far as really horrible leaders goes. And we've been in bed with some of the most ruthless and most horrible. Not that we usually care. After all, we've cuddled under the covers with Sadaam, as a nation. I wasn't for that either.
