This is the 3rd part of a very long interview with Fu'ad Sanyurah published in Al-Hayat. The Saudi newspaper is as probing in interviews with pro-Saudi personalities like Sanyurah as Larry King is probing in his interviews with celebrities. But two important things we learn: 1) that Sanyurah's favorite song by Um Kulthum is the poem by Prince `Abdullah Al-Faysal (what a coincidence--he probably did not even know that he was a member of the House of Saud); 2) that he has "high romantic streak" in his personality. I think that side was on display when Sanyurah met with Bush in the White House.
