The other Allawi

Maybe the American media will pay attention to Ali Allawi now that his book is out.

I would hope that most people would be familiar with him, if only for the insightful piece he penned in the Independent a few months ago about how to fix the Iraq situation. But as far as I could tell nobody in this country gave that op-ed even the slightest bit of attention, so it's probable that you never saw it the first time around.
