Saddam to grandson: 'Be a man'
Baghdad, Iraq - Deposed Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein sent a letter to his grandson in Jordan telling him to be strong and care for his family, according to Al-Arabiya television on Monday.

The letter, delivered by the International Committee of the Red Cross, was addressed to Ali Hussein al-Majeed and was the second received by his family since Saddam was detained last year.

"He asked me to take care of my family and to keep the family's reputation anywhere and at any time," al-Majeed told Al-Arabiya. "He recommends that I be a man, like my father and uncle, a man who can be trusted, and also to be the man of the family."

2. Has POPPY ever told JUNIOR, "BE A MAN?"
Coming from Poppy to Junior that might be so GROWTH producing for Junior in so many ways ... ;(

I grieve for the adulthood that Junior never achieved, whose childlike psychology keeps all of us terrorized by his power grab, his illegal and immoral war, his fear mongering and second Reichstag coming.

I grieve because well taught Bushes hide behind dirty CIA hands to perpetrate their crimes against democracy and humanity while claiming to be virtuoso patriotic men who uphold the constitution of the United States.

If that is so, Junior, then,give us back the separation of powers between the Executive, the Legislative and the Judicial branches of government.

Give us back the separation between church and state. Give us back our freedom of speech. Give us back our just America which does not invade another country because it wants its oil.

Give us back the America which sends Peace Corps Workers out to the world, not soldiers of fortune and occupation.

Give us back the America whose president grieves for every soldier returned to his native soil in a casket or body bag.

Better yet, give us back an America which needs not send soldiers out in harms way.

Just, BE A MAN, JUNIOR. Return the America you stole back to us!:hippie:

3. My brother went to high school with one of Saddam's nephews.
It was at the International School of Geneva. I can't remember his name, other than it ended in Hussein al Tikriti, or something. Apparently, he was a real bully (no surprises here). I guess it runs in the family...
