Today, ordinary Iraqis are permitted to possess firearms, in public as well as in private.

In Tikrit, deep in the Sunni heartland north of Baghdad where support for Saddam runs hand-in-hand with deep distrust of Iraq's new Shiite-dominated government, gunshots rang out from rooftops and street corners as Saddam addressed the court. Sunni insurgents with AK-47s and heavy machine guns paraded in scores of vehicles in defiance of the curfew. A crowd about 1,000, including some policemen and many people holding aloft pictures of Saddam, chanted: "We will avenge you Saddam."

We need to use our imagination. Drop leaflets and advertise a massive rally in support of Saddam at the Al Shaab Stadium, Iraq's largest. It would be like a pilgrimage. Bring your signs, bring your weapons and bring your anger. Free drinks for all. Once they assemble, we drop a gas bomb on the place.
