He was running a cult of personality on top his ruthless dictatorship.

An appearance by Saddam is not to inspire confidence but fear. It say's "I remain". It says "I will reach out from the grave to strike you down along with your family."

It gets more Orwellian by the day. He's not Stalin, he's Big Brother. I've read that he may have died as far back as 1998. I don't think I believe that though because one of the sons would have taken over or at least there would have been a big fight.

This regime is truly like the proverbial chicken without a head, running around in circles spouting blood, unaware that it is already dead.

Someone might tell that to Dan Rather, because he thinks he interviewed him in person a month or two ago.

I think that is a pretty accurate assessment.
