It is Saddam’s shoulders that serve as the fulcrum upon which world history will pivot. Generations from now people will say, “Saddam chose the true path of peace and harmony”, or “Saddam chose the false path that is violence and destruction”. Make no mistake, Saddam is in a position to set an example to the worlds people for eons to come. How would world history have been different if Adolph Hitler or Genghis Khan had chosen the path of peace and non-aggression? Indeed, Mahatma Ghandi would not have been as powerful as he was, if he had used weapons. If a man is evil, either the man must be destroyed, or the evil IN the man must be destroyed. If the good people of the world are to prevail in the battle against evil, there can be no alternative to this. If a man destroys the evil within himself, as a Christian all merciful God commands that I must forgive him, regardless what others may say. There can be no crude and cruel manipulation that will bend the heart of men. Saddam will not bend, and the choice must be left up to him. If he chooses peace, and shows that he will use his power for the benefit of all his people, he will have proven that he has undergone a righteous conversion. Such as conversion would also indicate that Saddam has become a zealous lover of peace, and a pardon would be unnecessary. There are none so powerful and committed as the zealot, and such a person must be allowed to freely and safely roam, so that they may share their enlightened wisdom, and be a good example for all humanity. I can say nothing more, and nothing more need be said. As a messenger, I have said all that I have been compelled to, and the decision is out of my hands. God willing; generations from now, the people of the world will say, “Saddam lead us upon the true path”. IC
