The little dictator
From Voice of America:
Saddam Hussein reportedly is writing his autobiography while he languishes in an Iraqi prison, awaiting trial for abuses committed during his time in power.
Like many children, I enjoyed playing games. One of my favorites was called "Who is Loyal?" Here’s how it worked: We would all gather around a table with me at the head. I would ask my friends if they had any criticisms of me. No, they would all say. In fact, they would go on and on about how great I was. Please, I would tell them, be honest with me. But Saddam, they would protest, there is nothing to criticize. Still, I would continue to insist. Eventually one of the boys would speak up and say that, well, I could be a little bossy at times. This boy would then be shot as an example to the others. When we got tired of that game we played "Fool The Americans Into Thinking We Have Nukes So They’ll Invade Us For No Reason."
