What you say makes sense Animal, but trying to gain sympathy in the rest of the world ? Come on... you know better than that. The guy didn't have any sympathy to begin with, not even from radical groups like Al Qaeda, since Saddam wasn't much of a true Muslim. He tried to act like one, by building one glamorous mosque after another, but true muslims didn't buy any of it.
Let's say this is true, then i say he only signed his own death warrant. It only quickened his downfall. That's why i don't believe it's true, he is too much in love with power to take risks like a US invasion.
