Iraq' s Valentine
Sgt. Blackwell "found" his love.
- For their first date, Blackwell took Ehda'a somewhere he knew would take her breath away - Saddam's palace. "It was a great day," says Ehda'a, in effusive English. "It was just like palaces of ancient ages." But she also felt sad. "Iraq is a very rich country and we in Iraq should live like everybody else, but Saddam took all the money because of his delusions of grandeur."
