Absolutely correct. Saddam has made many enemies in the Middle East, and Iran is at the top of the list. Kuwait, UAE, even Saudi Arabia would turn him over to the US in a second so they would not jeopardize their oil profits and IMF dollars. He would have a better chance and find more freinds in Syria or Lebanon, but would also have less hiding places. If the US is serious about only wanting him to leave, as a free man, it should not matter where he goes. I think that the whole truth is shockingly being kept from the masses.

Precisely. Whats additionally bothersome about the whole state of affairs is that no countries currently seem to be making offers of asylum. I am no fan of Saddam, but given the situation we are in at the moment, I think Canada would do well to offer the senior Iraqi heirarchy asylum if there is any chance it could avoid a bloodbath.
