Summary:

If the US government only had this unique how-to book in its hands, Saddam Hussein would no longer be a threat to us or to his own people. Millions of Iraqi lives could be saved and economic prosperity could be on their horizon. In "Breaking the Real Axis of Evil, Ambassador Palmer argues that international peace will not be achieved until democracies replace the world's remaining dictatorships.
