I dreamed the other night that I took a job helping out at the refugee center in town, and they made me take Saddam Hussein home for tea. He had a smart suit on like my Grandad and when we got home he sat in the same chair my grandad sat on ( I once saw a picture of Saddam and thought he looked like my deceased Grandad). My family complained to me and said "we can't have him here, their fighting him in a war, people will talk!" He was playing dominos and saying in an arab accent "thank you for the lovely tea, it is lovely sir". I said "mr Hussein tell me about your exciting life" and he said "well there was a war and they wanted to get rid of me so i had to be a refugee here". I said, "its ok, I don't mind about politics, your a nice man, your always welcome here for tea." and then he shouted "yes i dont want to talk about politics anymore! get me more tea!" Then in the kitchen my brother said "why is he cross" and i said "cause he gassed iranians and stuff like that and i forgot not to mention it". Then he got up angrily and said "i thought you werent going to talk about politics" and left. then i woke up.

Millions of Iraqis continue to live a bad dream.

Tyrant he may have been--but he ran a secular and stable country, which has been replaced by an unstable, largely Shi'ite regieme.

If you are going to take down a tyrant, make sure that you are replacing him with something better.

I think secular countries are best. I feel really disturbed by the thought of countries run on one religion. I think they should all get a look in, or none at all, as long as they can practise without being bothered or bothering others. If someone wants a faith they will find it themselves no need being dicatated to.

It would be best, at this point in history, if Iraq were to be officially declared a protectorate of the American Empire. They get out of line with their ethnic cleansing and other such nonsense, we send in legion upon legion until they are pacified. Since the tyrant is out of the way, why not just have a "puppet government" in Saddam's place as we were accused of doing before anyway.

I know you cant script a dream, but when you asked Saddam to tell you about his " exciting life" he shouldve risen to the occasion by breaking out into song.

One particular song.

The same song that in real life he would have the Bagdad Philharmoic Orchestra play every year on his birthday.

That song being "I Did It My Way."

you serious? That is a great peice of trivia. I know he wept after watching "braveheart" and said if he ever had an enemy like braveheart he "could not be able to kill him". And his rapist son Uday went mad one day looking for copy of "Gladiator" in the pirate dvd bazaars the day it came out.

Saddam was a good man along with my other heros Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot. How could they not be, they were against capitalism.

So was Adolph Hitler.

By the way, without capitalists you would not have a steady supply of food. Under your hero Stalin, who destroyed the agricultural system of Russia when he killed off the Kulaks, the Russian people had to stand in line four hours a day to get their daily rations, and they weren't even good daily rations.

Thats what i heard on NPR. Their orchestra played with an American orchestra here in the USA right after the invasion to celebrate (what everyone thought was) peace, and that tidbit came out.

If he were a guest in your home he would say things just like the lyrics of the song "regrets..ive had my share.. but too few to mention"...."ive had setbacks but I sucked it in and spat it out, and not in a shy way, and through it all.. I did it MY way.."

Who told you that Hitler was against capitalism?
Or Saddam Hussien either?
They were both fascists, not communists! ( Dictators of the right not the left)
Hitler hated Communism, and was all for private property and was a champion of capitalism. And capitalists loved him ( often viewed him as their savior). Same with Tojo, Musselini, Franco, and for the most part( despite idolizing Stalin, and playing off the USSR against the USA for favors) so was Saddam Hussien. Liking Capitalism is not the same as liking democracy. What they all had in common with Stalin was that they were all enemies of democracy.
