I have an idea. Let's chain Saddam to a MH-6 Little Bird, and dangle him upside down about 40 feet under the heli. The heli will race down streets at 45 feet, keeping Saddam off the ground at about 5 feet off the ground.
The heli will scream around the streets of Baghdad and anybody who busts Saddam open with a baseball bat gets to "win" and be pronounced President of Iraq.
We'll call this game "Iraqi Pinata".
His lawyer thinks by saying he can stop the bloodshed he can spare his life. No such luck. He gets the chair, and will finish all bloated and charred like his two sons.

"Iran is the enemy of Arabs, Islam and the United States, and the only person who can stand in the face of Iran is Saddam Hussein,"
I'm pretty sure we'll level Iran with nukes before asking Saddam for help with them.

i'm pretty sure you will never see nukes used against anyone.

I think we should strip saddam naked, put a blindfold on him, and walk him NE over the Iranian border. It'd be hilarious to see what would happen to him.

I'm certain that I hope you're right.

I think your about 45 years late...the Japanese may dispute that.

That was atomic, not nuclear.
However, when talking about energy level or physics, nuclear denotes the dynamics of particles in the core of an atom, including the protons and neutrons.
When talking about energy level, physics, or chemistry, atomic denotes the configuration of electrons that determines the chemistry of an atom and the dynamics of the particles in the outer layer, the electrons. In describing weapons, though, nuclear is a general term for weapons that release energy from nuclear reactions.
Atomic refers to the earliest and least sophisticated weapons, which use nuclear fission. Then there is thermonuclear.
Thermonuclear weapons use nuclear fusion, which results when the nuclei of hydrogen isotopes merge and release energy.
Fusion takes place only at very high temperatures, so thermonuclear devices first set off a fission reaction, which triggers the fusion; some weapons have two fusion stages, the first initiating the second.
In describing physics, atomic physics deals with the properties of atoms, which are mainly due to their electron configuration
Got the two? Good!!

So therefor there has never been a nuclear power plant accident, as all nuclear power so far has been fission, not fusion.

Except for the fact that from a practical standpoint, Saddam is actually pretty much correct in his assessment of the state of Iraq. Sure the US deposed a bloody handed tyrant, but an awful lot of the people Saddam wiped out were the same sorts of people who are currently running around Iraq blowing each other up. It takes willingness to rule with an absolutely firm hand to control that kind of religious and ethnic hatred, and I suspect that in the long run, Saddam will look like the Easter Bunny compared to whatever religious zealots end up running Iraq. The s h i_i t e s would kill or displace every last sunni and christian in the country and make the Taliban seem tame in comparision, if they had their way. It's pretty much their reason for existence.
On the plus side though, it's very unlikely that whatever band of religious nutjobs end up in charge of Iraq will end up with a modern chemical or biological weapons program anytime soon, and that's going to have to be good enough. Our best bet is to corrupt as many children as possible before we leave, by spreading our own WMD (weapons of mass Disney) in the form of crayons, educational coloring books, cheap internet access, school supplies, and the best products our modern media companies can produce. Some day those kids will grow up and get to help decide whether they keep living in mud huts or join the modern world, and having a childhood memory of something modern yet innocent may help them make up their minds.

It is my understanding from an Iranian friend who has family in Iran that this was exactly what was happening there a few years ago. One of the youngest populations in the world coupled with internet access and other western influences and the country may have been heading for a major cultural change over the next 5 - 10 years as the older religious leaders left the scene.
Of course Bush and his retarded axis of evil speech changed all that.

Yea I'm sure millions of iranian youths where typing away at the internet and heard the "axis of evil" remark and instanly threw away their laptops while shouting DETH TO AMERIKA DETH TO BOOSH!

It's not far from the truth. When the hardline returned to power, they shut down over 90 newspapers and severely curtailed access to the Internet. There used to be a KFC in Tehran. Blue jeans were available to many at that time.
Now all the kids didn't start saying that, but the leaders started in with it. And the populace was cowed.

I still think that would have happened with or without Bush.

Maybe, maybe not. The prediction comes from people living there, so I choose to believe it for now.

Face it.... one grenade in the Spider Hole and move on.... we blew it.
Pick up the Head later and claim he was killed by meatball_t e s/Sunnis/Kurds and Whey and hacked up.
Now we settled the Trial crap, the Religious sect violence... and we would have saved money.
Now when we bombed Mawaqari we spent two 500 lbrs carriered by 1 Fiters, followed by another fiter and the use per minutes of the fiters + 500 lbr's..$$$?
Do the math 1 grenade ~vs~ Saddam, Months of Trials, Dead Laywers....$$$?
I would have done the Grenade thingy...
But that's just me.

Perhaps we need to export more lawyers to iraq. I hear they have a shortage of them and this could solve some problems for both countries.
