Memorial Services For Saddam

Arabs in Gaza are holding a memorial service for Saddam.

(IsraelNN.com) Arabs in Gaza on Saturday held a memorial service for Saddam Hussein, marking the 40th day since his hanging, reports in the Arab media said.

"Saddam has won more dignity after his murder, far beyond what his enemies had expected. Poets and writers and the whole Iraqi people have expressed their love and respect for Saddam at all levels and political affiliations," one of the program's organizers was quoted as saying. He revealed that in the last moments of Saddam's life, he was offered an agreement, the terms being recognition of Israel," yet he refused because he had always believed that Palestine is Arab land, " the organizer told reporters.

Many poets read poetry in memory of Saddam at the event, and several speakers delivered speeches praising Saddam and recalling his "good works."

What would those good works have been? How about paying $25,000 a pop for Palestinian suicide bombers who were effective against the Israelis?

No doubt Saddam will be missed in their communities.

From what I gather since Saddam is gone the going rate is only $2,500. Hardly worth raising a son or daughter for. Times must be tough.
