>>I wasn't suggesting that Saddam was actually becoming pious. I suspect you understand that quite well.<<

Nadine -

Yes, I understood that. Of course he wasn't actually becoming pious. But you seemed to imply that his shows of piety were actually improving his standing among devout muslims and/or radical islamists.

I'd say that his mosque building had as much success reaching the devout muslims as his elections did in convincing the world that 100% of Iraqis loved him.

Saddam was reviled by people like Osama bin Laden, who referred to him as an infidel.

You are contradicting yourself, moron. You said Saddam was a fundamentalist. Now you are saying he was just pretending to be one. What an idiot!
