While I am all for Saddam going to a true Saint Helena from which he cannot escape, this sounds more like Elba. No more Waterloos.

I know that Saddam & Kim are bloodthirsty, murdering dictators, but after seeing 1.) Saddam outlaw WMDs, and 2.) this article, I have to give them both credit for having a great sense of humor.

[syriacus]

My!!

[Torie]

Exile in North Korea strikes me as second best to an exile in hell.

[Howlin]

Oh, a twofer!

[whadizit]

ROTFLMAOWPIMP!! That is so funny. q,Don't 'ya just know Saddam cannot wait to move to N. Korea! It would be priceless!

N. Korea just cannot stand to stay out of the headlines. Whenever too much attention is given to Iraq, he blurts out something so we won't forget him.

[Howlin]

Could you imagine Kim and Saddam together for a night on the town

They have towns there?

[umgud]

All joking aside, we will have to deal with NK much differently than Iraq. In Iraq, we can be somewhat surgical. In NK, I don't see any way but quickly delivered nukes. I too hope Saddam is there awaiting them.
