Richard Branson's Plan To Prevent Iraq Invasion
By Richard Smith
The Mirror - UK
12-19-4

Sir Richard Branson tried to prevent the Iraq war in a secret deal with Nelson Mandela.

The Virgin boss hoped to send the former leader of South Africa to meet Saddam Hussein and persuade him to go into exile.

He even got United Nations chief Kofi Annan's approval for the plan, despite fears that Saddam might kidnap Mandela.

A private jet was ready to fly the Nobel Peace Prize winner to Iraq. Branson offered to join him on the peace mission. But coalition forces invaded Iraq just before they went.

2. The man's a humanitarian.
We should be so lucky to have a leader with his instincts, ideas, and creativity.
