Saddam to Declare Candidacy for Iraqi Elections
Overthrown Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein, who was arrested by US forces last December, reportedly plans to run as a candidate in the Iraqi elections scheduled for January 2005.
Saddam's lawyer Giovanni di Stefano told Denmark's B.T. newspaper that Saddam decided during one of their discussions that he would declare his candidacy for the elections.
Stefano said that there was no law that prevented Saddam from appearing on the ballot. He added that Saddam hopes to regain his presidency and palaces via the democratic process.
Contrary to the statements of Iraqi Interim Prime Minister Iyad Allawi, Stefano claims, "Saddam has no chance to be tried before the elections. Moreover, no international law prevents him from coming forward."
Saddam's lawyer defends that the ambiguity in Iraq will favor Saddam at the polls. Stefano remarked that a recent Gallup poll indicates that 42 percent of the Iraqi people want their former leader back.
Meanwhile, evaluating the conditions of Saddam in jail, Allawi said that Saddam had asked him for mercy.

Saddam Hussein could get 99 % of the Iraqi vote but he still will never be leader again. The fact is that it's all a sham paid for by your tax dollars, and the USA and Isreal now have 14 bases of operation in the " theatre ". That was the goal after all. This is why I supported Saddam years ago.

If Saddam Hussein was elected president now, and if under no sanctions, (and not pursuing weapons) he would have Iraq looking like a first world country within a few years from now. There'd be more freedom and better infrastructure in Saddam's Iraq than in Bush's Americkwa. The US war against Iraq is such a stupefying atrocity I can't understand how any person with half a wit could possibly support this adminstration for 4 more years.

You are soooooooooooooo right and do you know what really hurts, when I am going hurrayyyyyy for Saddam and boooooooooo for Bush.
Saddam will inprove the standard of linving for the Iraqis and Bush will turn the US into a third class country.
But of course now Bush is jealous of Sadam so now Saddam has to die.
