This may be something of a 'vent', but it relates to the topic:

At school today, everyone was asking me if I was 'sad' Hussein had been captured. WTF? He's a dictator. Just because I didn't believe in invading his country (and was quite vociferous about it) doesn't mean I like him!

Sheesh, that is awful.

"Captured Saddam" action figure, just in time for the holidays
Tue Dec 16,10:38 AM ET

NEW YORK (AFP) - It didn't take long, and just in time for the holidays, the "Captured Saddam," action figure, presumably fresh out of an imaginary spider-hole, has been rushed to store shelves.

This image obtained courtesy of Hero Builders (HB) shows the new captured Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) doll. The 12-inch Saddam action figure, with an Ace of Spades t-shirt retails for about 30 dollars(AFP/HO-HB).

"We got him," advertises Herobuilders.com. "We are thrilled at the fact that we can respond to new world circumstances within 24 hours.

"We still mold and hand paint each and every action figure right here in the Good Old USA," adds the company which specializes in political playthings, and also is proud to feature Uday Hussein and macabre DOA (dead on arrival) Uday dolls.

Also in the company's line-up are an artificially muscled George W. Bush, talking and non-talking versions; an Osama Bin Laden, and an earlier "Butcher of Baghdad" model of Saddam, clad in an S and M outfit, sold separately, black beret and sunglasses.

For the European front, the company features a Tony Blair "Talking British Ally" model; and Gerhard Schroeder in camouflage; and French President Jacque Chirac, whom it calls "le Worm" in a flouncy French maid's outfit. France and Germany opposed the US-led war in Iraq.

thought this was amusing (it's just a joke, guys, just a joke):

Baghdad - It has been revealed that a Halliburton executive is responsible for the tip that led to the capture of Iraq's former dictator Saddam Hussein.

According to a source at the Pentagon, a Halliburton executive contacted authorities in Baghdad informing them of the possible location where Saddam Hussein was hold up.

The source says the Halliburton executive turned in the former dictator when he failed to make the final payment on the 6 foot by 8 foot hole in the ground constructed by a Halliburton company operating in Iraq.

After his capture, Saddam Hussein lodged an official complaint with the new authorities in Iraq. In his complaint, Hussein alleges he was grossly overcharged by Hallibuton for the construction of his hiding hole.

At the time of his capture, Hussein had $750,000 of American cash in his possession. Hussein claims the money was for the final payment on his hole in the ground. "This hole thing has just turned into a money pit, a d@mn money pit", said Hussein.

Because the tip led to the capture of Hussein, Halliburton will be entitled to the $25 million reward for his capture.

A spokesperson for Halliburton told the media that they did not overcharge Hussein for his hole in the ground. Halliburton has also laid claim to the $750,000 the U.S. government confiscated from Hussein on his capture.
