Be that as it may, there are some immediate advantages to being a Muslim. Of course this depends on a person's mindset and what his interests/desires are. Some of the immediate advantages include:- 1. Privilege to have 4 wives at any one time (chances are that the 4 of them will keep one another honest. This is very important, especially in areas where the men are often plagued by infidelity.) 2. If a Muslim man desires one or more new lovely women he can easily divorce one or more wives to make room for the new ones. 3. If a Muslim man obeys the tenets of the Koran and says his prayers five times everyday, he will go to Paradise when he dies and 70 dark-eyed virgins will be waiting to please him forever and ever. Not only that: if he gets to be in Paradise he is granted the privilege of waiving in 70 of his relatives to have the chance to watch him having a whale of a good time forever and ever!!! This must be great for relatives and freinds who are voyeurs. Maybe all voyeurs should have good Muslims as friends! <gggg>

Saddam Hussein has once again proven himself to be an obtuse fool, with the mind of a common street criminal. He obviously lacks sufficient intellect to be a true Arab. In acts of obvious desperation, he has foolishly allowed his strategy to become transparent for all to see, without the need to reveal any exclusive American intelligence information. Saddam’s strategy is to manipulate some of the Palestinian fighters, without their knowledge, into continuing the suicide attacks, even though he knows it is harmful to the formation of a Palestinian nation. The evidence is in his recent statements to the Iraqi people, and to the Arab media. Saddam is willing to sacrifice the future country of Palestine, in an effort to maintain his personal power, and to deflect attention from his crimes against his own people. Saddam has done this in direct opposition to the will of the majority of the Palestinian people. He has also secretly placed himself in direct opposition to the Arab League peace plan, and the will of God IMO. I believe that Saddam’s attempts at manipulation will now be seen for what they truly are, clown-like and amateurish. I hope that the relevant Palestinian fighters will recognize that they are being used as “puppets”, and resist the “puppet master”, as Saddam has shown himself to be. The Palestinian people have a right to choose their own path. IMO, it is clear that Saddam is an unworthy leader to a country as great as Iraq. Perhaps he should have studied the thoughts of the revered Japanese Samurai and strategist, Miyamoto Musashi. This excerpt is from Musashi’s book of strategy, “A Book of Five Rings”, “The Water Book” chapter. “Strategy is different from other things, in that if you mistake the Way (of strategy), even a little, you will become bewildered and fall into bad ways”.
