Dear Saddam Hussain,
I am writing to you in the larger interest of the people of Iraq.
After all that has happened, I think you should consider retirement. Relinquish the ruling powers to Tarik Aziz, take a long vacation, and spend your last years in peace with yourself.
It is immoral to cling on to power forever. The human is mortal, but his legacy is not. Your own personal safety, the interests of the Iraqi people, and of Arabs in general, is best served by your retirement. This will avoid war, and make you popular. More importantly, you will live, and will demonstrate that you are wise. It will deny your enemies the opportunity to strike, and in one brilliant move, you would have shut 'em up forever.
I also highly recommend Disney World as a vacation spot to take your grand-children. All the dictators who hate America, vacation there secretly anyway.

Iraq and Pakistan
Both Iraq and Pakistan have weapons of mass destruction, both are ruled by ruthless dictators.
Whereas Iraq is not infested with Islamic fundamentalism, Pakistan is.
Whereas Iraq has no documented history of sponsoring terrorism, Pakistan has.
And Iraq is our enemy, and Pakistan, our friend?!
From what I hear, the forthcoming war is not about Saddam or terrorism. It is about USA occupying an oil rich nation, and establishing a very firm foot in the neighborhood of Israel. I am pro-war. But let it be known what the war is for. Let us have a war for restoring of people's rule (hence the regimes in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Jordan, and Pakistan also need to be overthrown), and for long-term peace in the world (we have to squeeze in some kind of justice for the Palestinians).
