Saddam’s Day Dreams

Saddam Hussein has stated to his chief defense attorney that he believes the United States will spare him from the death sentence, even going as far as reinstating him to the office of President of Iraq. Saddam has resigned himself to the inevitable death sentence but knows in his heart that Bush needs him to stop the violence currently taking place in Iraq by the insurgents.

The defense attorney was quoted as saying, "He'll be the last resort; they'll knock on his door," al-Dulaimi said. "The United States will use this sentence to pressure Saddam to save it from its mess."

It really is no surprise that Saddam is sitting in his prison cell reading the Quran and writing poetry each day, Perhaps, in his mind he is attempting to attain for his sins and allow his mind to escape by writing the poetry. Saddam can think all the delusional thoughts he wants while he is locked in a U.S. guarded cell, Bush will never release him, let alone restore him to the office of the presidency. After all the thousands of Iraqi citizens that were tortured and killed during his administration, he will die, pure and simple and the people of Iraq will celebrate.

Who knows what thoughts go on in the mind of a mad man such as Saddam, but escaping death by America’s intervention simply would not fly among the citizens of Iraq or America. If we were to restore this megalomaniac to his throne, the people of Iraq would fight us to the end. Saddam can dream all he wishes, the only thing he will ever receive from President Bush are the soldiers presently guarding his cell and patrolling the streets of Iraq.
