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.

Oh but he *did* get sympathy and support from Muslims all over the world - *not* because he was an outright dictator of the worst sort; not because he pretended to be a muslim - but because he played the part of the small kid in the playground that stood up to the 'bully'. It won him a lot of admirers and, as you can see from the numbers that crossed into Iraq to fight the US, that support was strong.
