Good Move

Libya is going to build a statue of Saddam. I can't think of a better place, seeing as all the other ones have been pulled down in Iraq. And I like the sound of the design. It was Saddam's finest moment:

It would show him standing on the gallows with a Libyan resistance leader who fought Italian occupation, executed in 1931, Libya's Jana news agency said.

Too bad about the resistance leader, to be stuck on the pedestal with a shitbird like this, but I have to say for all the squawking about the inappropriateness of Saddam's execution and the tut-tuts about the vidphone footage, I enjoyed watching him suddenly disappear off the screen.

My only question is, how come Khaddafi suddenly loves Saddam? I know he loved him back in the day. But I thought Mad Mo was resolved to be a good dictator now. Think maybe he's feeling a little sheepish about giving away the farm the minute Saddam's other statue toppled?

Obviously Khaddafi doesn't get the irony of having a statue of Saddam standing on the gallows. Or that Saddam was executed by his fellow Iraqis. Hmm. Maybe Mo should reconsider that.
