Now by inference, based on your premise, does that make Bush an idiot?

Karen.. Let's be serious here.. I made the comment that Saddam's regime is effectively a criminal organization along the lines of the mafia. It is structured in that manner, and he operates it that way.

It has NOTHING to do with whether he likes the Godfather. He was doing this before the Godfather became a movie.

Read for yourself, from a former Iraqi journalist who once recalls his night of drinking with Saddam:

And btw, I greatly enjoyed Forrest Gump myself. It's a lesson to the "high and mighty" that education and intellect is sometimes at great disadvantage to sheer determination and adherence to principles, and often sheer dumb luck.

How many lucky people start running back and forth across the US, as FG did in that movie? It was more than about dumb luck.

And I'm sorry that I had to be the one who had to point that out to you... :0)
