News Even on the run, Hussein has Iraqis under his 'spell'

[Ivan Seeking]

"BAGHDAD – As US forces rolled into Baghdad, Saddam Hussein, the Ace of Spades in the US Army's deck of cards of wanted Iraqis, did a spectacular vanishing act. Many Iraqis believe their former leader, a lifelong dabbler in the occult, will never be found by coalition troops scouring the country. His trick, they say, is a magic stone that protects him from harm."

"never be found" eh? I'm going to go out on a limb here and make a prediction - within one month the US will capture Saddam Hussein.

It is not surprising that some Iraqis still believe in Saddam Hussein's supposed magical powers, given his history of using fear and manipulation to maintain control over the population. However, it is important to remember that he is a wanted war criminal and should be held accountable for his actions, regardless of any perceived supernatural abilities. The fact that he is on the run and has evaded capture for so long is a testament to the determination and resources of the coalition forces, and it is only a matter of time before he is brought to justice. His "spell" over the Iraqi people will eventually be broken, and they will be able to move forward without the shadow of his tyrannical rule.
