Having just seen the interview that everyone is talking about, I must say that I have a new found respect for Saddam Hussein. I thought he conducted himself very well, and agreed on EVERY point he made, except for his refusal to destroy the Al-Samoud 2 missiles, but, I understand his decision.
But onto the subject on everyone's lips. His proposal to have a live televised debate with President Bush via satellite. At its very least, it is a very smart and cunning move. But I think it is more, it is a strong gesture of progress. The White House refused immediately, which will further tarnish their image. While unorthodox, I think it is an excellent idea, so that people can make up their own minds having seen evidence from both points of view.
