Is it the first time?

Greetings,

 

 In an emotional speech outside the Security
                       Council chamber on Tuesday, Iraq's ambassador
                       to the UN, Mohammed Aldouri, said: "This is the
                       first time in history that a president of one state
                       has ordered the president of another state to leave
                       his own country.''

Is that true? It seems even the heads of state under a profound illusion. It is not the first time in the history. Regardless of the History one can look at the history of Irak's neighbour Iran when in 1946 Britain (Churchil was the head of state or prime minister) asked Reza Pahlavi (The King of Iran) to leave the country and go to Mauritius in Africa. What the modern head of states of Third World Countries seem to have forgotten is that they are not heads of any state in its legal sense but vassals. However it seems that during these past 30 years many within the third world countries (and even some in first world) thought that de-colonization and re-participation within UN is a true process and far from symbolic. But the recent trends demonstrate otherwise, no?
