How long have they been lying? Since Nasser and the '67 War. At least to themselves. From an editorial published in the NY Times. "It was an edifice conjured up in the mind and now collapsed." That was the opening line of a song by Um Kalthoum, the diva of Arab music. She sang the song after the defeat of Gamal Abdel Nasser of Egypt in 1967. The image makes as much sense in the Arab world today as it did 36 years ago. Today television images show statues and posters of Saddam Hussein being destroyed. Journalists inform us that soldiers have given up and that the structure of power has crumbled without a serious fight.
