In this July 1 file photo cleared by the U.S. military, Saddam Hussein appears in a courtroom at Camp Victory, on the outskirts of Baghdad.

CAIRO, Egypt - Deposed Iraqi President Saddam Hussein is depressed and has begged the Iraqi government for mercy, Iraq’s Prime Minister Iyad Allawi said in an interview published on Monday.

“Saddam and his colleagues are not the giants that the media sometimes talks about,” Allawi said in an interview with the pan Arab al-Hayat newspaper. “Saddam sent us an oral message in which he begged for mercy. He said that they were working in the public interest and did not mean any harm.”

Put the whiner out of his misery. I have an idea! Why doesn't some gutless piece of garbage rag head stand behind him with a dull knife and saw his head off, slowly?

Spread that image all over the net.

Oh, well, then he should definitely get a do-over. No doubt about it, 'cause he asked real nice.

They should show him the pictures of all the men, women and children he murdered with his chemical weapons. Those pictures of those poor people will haunt my mind and my heart the rest of my life. Grisly.

Saddam, did you show those people mercy... hmmmmm?

We're waiting for an answer.

I have felt all along that the people of Kuwait deserve the first crack at him. Send him to Kuwait City and turn him loose at high noon in downtown, feet and hands shackled so he can't defend himself. Then I would pass out Louisville Slugger baseball bats to the first 25,000 visitors.
