Naw...he'll never run Iraq again. Not a chance. But there is one out for the big guy, and this is it. He does a sudden, dramatic religious conversion and gets "born again", preferably after a heartfelt confab with Billy Graham. It worked for George Bush, so why not for Saddam? From that point on, Saddam will constantly quote Jesus, his new Lord and Saviour, and will love everything American (Jesus was an American, wasn't he? Must have been...). Hell, Manuel Noriega did it too, and they didn't execute him. Remember? Okay, so next thing that happens, Saddam will be exported stateside and take up country music or maybe even become a TV gospel preacher. He will get a daytime TV show from Las Vegas and deliver diatribes against Muslim fundamentalists and anybody else that doesn't love Jesus and America.

This is definitely the way out for Saddam, and I think he should go for it. No question.
