Saddam Hussein
"Camel Diplomacy"

What the hell is wrong with this guy? Is he stupid? Hard of hearing? Light headed from too much sun and sand? Has one of those diseases you get from fornicating with camels finally reached his brain? America's favorite punching bag, Saddam Hussein, is back at it again.

In 1991, when Saddam invaded Kuwait and threatened to shut off the world's oil supply, it took all of three days for the United States and its allies to kill 20,000 of his Iraqi countrymen and decimate his military. At that point, he agreed to UN restrictions on his abilities to build weapons. Think he learned his lesson? In a camels eye! A year ago we caught him violating those regulations. We dropped a few bombs on him and he went scurrying back to his dark hole where he concocted his latest venture. This week, he refused to allow the American members of the UN inspection teams searching for weapons of mass destruction to perform their duties. "American imperialist spies!" he claims, as he drops his trousers, shoots the moon and screams, "Inspect this!" He's also threatening to shoot down the UN surveillance planes when they resume their missions next week. Clinton and company see little hope of any resolution short of military action. Saddam is getting rave reviews back home for standing up to the the heathen western infidels.

So what happens now? Past bombings haven't influenced Saddam and we seem unable or unwilling to kill him. No, we need to try something different. Maybe we could show him that we're not such bad guys after all. There must be a few American Creeps who Saddam might find to be kindred spirits. We could send a few of these guys over there to occupy his time and mind, which would have the added benefit of getting them off our streets and out of our jails. Here are a few humble suggestions:

Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with Saddam and Marv.
