If Bush Can Take Office Again, Why Not Saddam?
Now here's a real test of the Bush administration's commitment to democracy in Iraq:
Overthrown Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein, who was arrested by US forces last December, reportedly plans to run as a candidate in the Iraqi elections scheduled for January 2005.
Saddam's lawyer Giovanni di Stefano told Denmark's B.T. newspaper that Saddam decided during one of their discussions that he would declare his candidacy for the elections.
Will they let Saddam run? Will they not interfere in the election process? Will they let Saddam take office if he wins?
I think we know the answers to all of those questions. Still, it should be interesting to watch.
