Well, this kind of war isn't exactly new: for example a legend about the early ages of Rome is about a war with a neighbouring city, Albalonga. The war was fought by six men, three brothers from Rome and three from Alba, who dueled for overall victory. in the end the romans won, of course, although only one of the brothers survived.

So I wonder if this new kind of war was enacted, who would win the Political Death Match: George W. or Saddam?

Old Saddam would play nasty, you bet it. And also he seems the fittest of the two.

And also in general, if the World's leaders had to lead the charge to war and be on the front lines, would they declare war?

Yes, if they happened to be big and strong like a bull, since they could easily win wars without risking. This way we would have rulers which are there just because they are strong, and not for other and better reasons.
Just an example: Fidel Castro declaring war on the USA just after his golpe... an experienced fighter vs. a politician? Sounds bad for USA.
