I remember watching an interview of Dr. Abbas Khalaf Kunfud, Iraqi ambassador to Moscow, on Vremya television, just before the Anglo-American invasion in 2003.
He referred to America as a fascistoid State.
Dr. Kunfud passed away in Sept. 2013.
We never met, but as he graduated from the Russian department at Baghdad University in 1977, and, as I have a copy of one of Sergei Aksakov's books in the sidebar, I suppose we shared an interest in Russian literature.
