There are probably more Al Qeda or Palestinians who might do this for their causes, but I don't see Sadamn as a spiritual leader whose people would think worty of suicide. Arabs in general may dislike the US, but I'd also suspect many Iraqis will be relieved when he is gone.

You're right, I don't think he's going to find many people in Iraq to carry this out. He might find some Al Qaeda types who'd be happy to oblige, however. Thing is, they're already after us, so what would be new about this? Maybe Saddam could spring for some spiffy new bomber outfits or something, so they could look cool when they blow themselves up?

Unless Iraq pays them in advance. In which case, they should take the money and run. Saddam isn't likely to have any enforcement mechanism in place after his death.

(This is one instance where I think all of us would forgive the crime of fraud and misrepresentation on the part of the "bombers". Take the money and enjoy, guys :-) ).

If they expect him to pay them after the war starts, they need a brain transplant and are most likely too dumb to succeed, in the Richard Reid mould.
