Oysters and Foie Gras and, By the Way, Saddam Was Hanged
It’s sort of interesting to think what might have happened if Saddam would have heeded George Bush’s threats three years ago and given up power, in turn for sanctuary out of Iraq — perhaps in some sophisticated nation like France.
He could have taken his billions and settled into French liberal society and been a French hero. The women folk in Saddam’s family could have spent their time shopping with Arafat’s wife. Uday and Osay might have had to cut back their rape activities a bit, but they could have still been favorites among the storied Paris whores.
Saddam would have been the toast of the French intellectual scene. Democratic politicians would have flocked to him for personal consultations, just like they flock to visit Boy Assad.
But he chose to listen to the French and Russians, who assured him they would be abale to get George Bush to back down.
Bad decision.
