A Saddam Obituary

Saddam Hussein (28 April 1937 – 30 December 2006).
We in the Arab World have been blessed with some of the bloodiest meanest dictators. Yesterday we lost one of the greatest of them all. Saddam Hussein was 69, but he looked pretty good for his age. He came from a family of long livers (for him that meant his liver was a 120 cm long). A few years ago he could be seen not very far from where he died, watching military parades and giving out medals to a bunch of cronies who managed to kiss and lick deeper up his back passage. Some said that Saddam was a brutal, blood thirsty, vein, moustached bastard who never got a decent education, but he tried to pass himself off as the Arab world’s leading nationalist figure. Under his guidance, Iraq turned from one of the richest and most prosperous Arab countries into one of the most fucked up. He died yesterday after suffering a neck injury. Another one bites the dust. Wishing you all a happy and hysterical new year.
