Very interesting take... but Ho Chi Minh did sorta win the war and wasn't captured is the difference, and he's still all life-like-looking in his maseleum in Ha Noi... But I guess now that Saddam is in Iraqi custody... I guess it depends on whether this government is overthrown, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was... The US imperialist government is far more of a threat to peace than Saddam ever was... and while Mr Hussein had a touch of genocidal manic to his personality, I think the US government isn't entirely free from bigoted/racist aggressive tendencies either.

But yes, interesting, and sad, too.

I love the way he tried to convince everyone that being in the throes of something could be a passive ordeal.
