Iraqi President-for-Life and best-selling romance novelist Saddam Hussein has issued a defiant response to speculation that his regime will be the next target in the United States' war on terrorism. In sarcastic comments issued by Iraq's official news agency, Saddam said he would prefer to see his regime deposed than the country bombed. "We give our support ... to the option of overthrowing the regime -- a civilized slogan -- which is better than attacking, striking the population, harming it and destroying its resources," Saddam told military officials at a meeting to mark the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha.
Sounds like a deal to me. We should take it. |
