Interesting.... I suppose that this changes things from what many Diplomats have been refering to about Husseins..."New spirit of cooperation" What a farse.
This issue is very interesting, because it really shows, how much of a dumbass Hussein is (in some small ways). He has got permenent members risking everything on this next resolution, fighting like hell in his behalf, and 'ole Sadam isnt smart enough to play them worse than he already is. Then again something tells me he fully understands our detractors more than we perhaps do.
He really should take this opportunity to "settle his score" with the Kerds and other minority groups/detractors, while he has the chance. All of his actions since the end of the Gulf War, have ironically awarded him with quite a bit of sympathy, especially from many of our Western European compatriots. Why stop now if you're Sadam? Anything he does will be blamed on the United Kindgom's and the United State's "bullying" tactics. Bastard he is, Sadam is a great poker player and a better psychologist than many of us will ever dream to be.
This is where the similarities between he and Hitler end. Sadam isnt quite as bold as Hitler was, despite an overwhelming number of stark similarities to his style and all around ruthlessness. Hitler too played up to the "over-sensibilities" of many of his western European counterparts. He used sympathy to divide one time stonch allies, who originally had the will to carry out the necessary steps to diffuse WWII before it began. Now, here we are fifty years later and history is repeating itself. Whom ever came up with that saying was one of the great genius' in mankinds history.
