Yes but WHERE IS Saddam? Did he simply disappear, like Tyrone at the 
end of GR? Are we in a TRP novel after all? Did he say something, 
anything? Did he tell us why he started such a suicidal enterprise 
like Gulf War I?

As for what Georgie says or does, might I criticize the US President 
when my Prime Minister is Silvio Berlusconi? I can only shut up and 
meditate on this common transatlantic disgrace. At the moment we're 
all Americans or all Italians, choose the one you like most.
