Hussein is fond of both Saladin and Nebuchadnezzar. And....

The Rise of Babylon,
by Charles H. Dyer with Angela Elwell Hunt
…Dyer points out Saddam Hussein's own plans to emulate King Nebuchadnezzar as evidenced in a commemorative medal he had cast with the ancient king's profile and his own side by side. In addition to the hanging gardens of Babylon and the unification of the surrounding nations, King Nebuchadnezzar is perhaps most noted for the sacking of Jerusalem and the captivity of the Jewish people.
The author reveals how Hussein's followers already recognize him as today's equivalent of that ancient king:
The tour guide at a reconstructed palace in Babylon described with enthusiasm the restored monument of the ancient city...she got to the throne room and pointed to the empty platform. "This is where the Saddam Hussein had his throne. This is where Saddam Hussein sat," she said, voice rising in pride.
The short, stout woman looked around at the quizzical faces, then caught herself with a nervous laugh. "I mean Nebuchadnezzar... Nebuchadnezzar had his throne here."

Inspired by his uncle's tales of heroism in the service of the Arab nation, Saddam has been consumed by dreams of glory since his earliest days. He identifies himself with Nebuchadnezzar, the King of Babylonia who conquered Jerusalem (586 B.C.) and Saladin who regained Jerusalem in 1187 by defeating the Crusaders….

In pursuit of his messianic dreams, there is no evidence he is constrained by conscience; his only loyalty is to Saddam Hussein…

Would that be the same palace that got renovated by the 6 JDAM's at about 1230 hours (est) last Friday? While the Shiites that live on the east bank of the Tigris were lining the bank on the opposite shore, cheering?

Just wanted to mention that the last picture you posted is a Russian poster saying:

"Thank our dear Stalin and our (communist) party for a happy and joyful youth years."

The similarity of these two evil man is striking.
