  • The Fate of Saddam Hussein

    As President Bush and Saddam are destined to rattle their sabres once again, I cannot help but wonder how this war will end. I'm refering to how the war will end for Saddam. What, in your opinion, will be his fate?

    My own opinion tends to weigh towards the possibility that Saddam, just like our old pal Bin Laden, will dissapear. Does anyone else agree?

    Possible outcomes in regards to Saddam's future:

    A. Saddam will dissapear.
    B. Saddam will be exiled.
    C. Saddam will be killed.
    D. Saddam will be caught and stand trial.
    E. Saddam will committ suicide (Different from C).
    F. Saddam will go underground and fight a guerrilla war.

    These are all very interesting possibilities to ponder. I have always been interested in the final hours of dictators and their regimes and I really would like to know your stance in regards to this issue.

    I think he will stay in Iraq as long as possible, then leave the country into exile after the war begins. My seocnd choice is that he will fight to the finish, which is absed ont he repeated commnets that he wants to be a new Saladin.

        D, E and F are extremely unlikely for various different reasons. I'd prefer C, but I think A is likely.

            Rule the world? Ooh, I can't wait!

            One thing that I have not yet considered is how Saddam's exile would look like. Who would give Saddam a safe haven?

              Several nations have already offered Saddam asylum. I can't remember them all, but the one that stuck in my mind was Belarus.

                Really? I can't see why ANY country would want to offer Saddam asylum. It's not like he'd be a great contribution to the economy or international prestige of the country...

                    The President of Belarus is a screwball dictator, just like old Saddam. I think he'd fit right in there.

                      Hussein will vanish into the background like bin Laden and Omar.

                        Prestige and benefit to economy?

                        In all truth, if he were to be exiled, the location of choice would most likely be kept a secret for obvious reasons.

                          He will go where is money is and has bought influence: France. The US will call for his head. France will hold a party.
