Guys, guys. It's so easy to explain. The ballot slip probably looked something like this:

Do you want our dearly beloved, all powerful, wise, prescient, benevolent, yada yada yada leader Saddam to be your President for the next 20 years? Please choose one response:

a. Yes
b. Yes



Seriously, when I heard on the news that they were going to conduct the poll, and that at the last poll the vote was 99.96% in favour, I said to myself, "I won't be surprised if he gets 100% this time".

So why am I not surprised?

The only thing that boggles me is the so-called 100% voter turn out. In a voting population of 11 mil plus, you mean to tell me that every Ahmad, Ali and Bakar went? Seems kinda unbelievable to me.

I just put it down to propaganda. Plus fiddling with the statistics.

Over 11 million voters and they all voted for Saddam! There is something very very wrong with this outcome.
So-damn-insane's Election motto was "Vote for me, or you will die".
