Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

Pachachi said that Shaykh Al-Yawar, and not he, would be elected president of Iraq. The Emiratis were puzzled by the controversy that surrounded the selection process, including reports that Pachachi had been offered the presidency only to refuse it. 3.
