Oh, that was Saddam's eldest son, Uday, a confirmed schizo and cracko! Too bad they didn't put him away soon enough, even though his old man did come down hard on him several times for the excesses he committed.

By the way, taking a bride away from the groom on their wedding night by a person of privilege or in power has its precedent in England and Scotland in the days of yore. And did you know that the word FUCK originated in those times?
<c>FUCK is the acronym for FORNICATION UNDER the CONSENT of the KING.

The practice of a chieftain having the first crack at a bride was quite prevalent in Scotland in the good old days. In the movie, "BRAVE HEART" you will see that the Scottish chiefs accepted English rule on condition that this special privilege not be taken from them. It was granted!
