Fu'ad Sanyurah's excellent adventure in US: he was told to go to New York. He went. He was told to meet with Annan, he did. He was then told (somewhat unprecedentedly) to go to UN Security Council and make a speech to embarrass the Syrian delegate; he obediently followed orders. He did what he was told. (His speech by the way was clearly written in Arabic. He said that when Israel withdrew "until the international borders." He was translating "hatta" in Arabic, but he it should have been translated as "to" and not "until.")
