A Canadian escorted `Amr Musa during his last visit to the US. He told me that during drives between destinations, Musa showed no interest in knowing about Arabs in Canada. But he was most distracted by admiring passing cars: "Look at that beautiful car," he would marvel. His accompanying "fixer" was distracted by another task: finding a golf course for the esteemed secretary-general of the Arab League.
