Short story for Ewan McIan

Once upon a time in the far away land of Qari, there ruled an evil tyrant called Hussain Saddam. The Just Warriors made war on him and destroyed him and the land of Qari. After the war the Rebok-prize-winning novelist, Ewan McIan, wrote: “I had great ambivalences about the Qari war. The left-winger in me made it difficult to protest against the removal of a fascist dictator.” (Guardian interview Saturday 18 August 2007)
