I hope he does too! I understand that there is a rush to complete a compound in Tripoli, Libya. DEBKA is reporting that Saddom may go into exile there and that the compound is being built for and by him. They call it "Saddam City". Here is the link. http://www.debka.com/article.php?aid=231

Well, I'm indiffernt as to whether Saddam lives or not. Cuz frankly he's a genocidal, megolomaniacal $#@IO. But, if his exile averts this impending war, and contributes to peace in the region - great!

I think it would be totally out of character for Saddam to accept exile. I do expect more tricks. Perhaps a fake death or something.

I agree with Donut really. This would be one of the most unexpected moves for Saddam to make that I can think of. Frankly I think it is also one of the more unexpected moves for the US to make as well. And trust me, I like the idea of Saddam Hussein gone. Lefties across the world are united in their hatred of the man considering what he has done to opposition, particularly socialists, in his country. But I would be most concerned to see who comes in next and under what authority. If this is a US led initiative then can I put money on it not turning democratic anytime soon? Not that I think the US is out to cause the people of Iraq harm for the sake of it, just that it would be much more in their interests to get a leader in power who would support them in the region.
