The following is a pictorial of significant people sporting the Palestinian nationalist—a creation of the KGB—scarf, know as the keffiyeh. It is also a traditional Arab headress. It often appears with a checker pattern on a white or red background. The Palestinian nationalist movement is a favourite of the radical Left, Marxists, Communists, Socialists, etc.

Saddam took the number two job under president Ahamd Hassan al-Bakr, began purging the army of non-Baathist officers, ridding the political scene of Kurds and communists. When Bakr stepped down, officially for health reasons, the stage was set for Saddam, who became president on 16 July 1979. Fearing the impact of Tehran’s Islamic revolution on Iraq’s majority Shiite Muslim population, Saddam launched a war against Iran in 1980 to defend “the eastern flank of the Arab nation from the Persian. But he only managed to obtain a cease-fire in 1988. On 02 August 1990, Saddam directed his army against Kuwait. In February 1991 a multinational coalition led by the United States chased Iraqi troops out of he emirate. (Photo by -/INA/AFP via Getty Images)
