So apparently Saddam has written a few books to go with his tacky taste in indoor decoration, mostly in the juvenile fantasy genera I hear. You can even buy one at Amazon:

Not the first ruthless dictator to write books either; Hitler wrote Mein Kampf, Caesar The Gallic War, Nero and Tiberitus dabbled I think – though nothing survives today. Anyone else?
Considering their track record in giving away Nobel prices to mass murdering terrorists (Arafat) and ridiculous never heard of authors perhaps Saddam has a shot at next years Nobel price? Anyway, here for the august Saddam poetry contest:
**Saddam poetry: **
“I killed so many
And yet so few
I blame my plight
On the Jews.
Rotting corpses
Blood on the floor
And yet some of my victims
The U.S. abhor.
“No WMD’s!”
My allies cheer
Traitors in the bosom
Of Freedom appear.
Just as they have
So many times before,
Dupes fail to discern
Between true tyranny
And Democracy at war.”
Saddam haiku:
“Once head of Iraq.
Now nothing. I wish that I
could vote for Kerry.”
Saddam limericks
“There once was a man from Tikrit
Whose spider hole measured five feet
He hated the Jews
and Americans too
But their muffins sure were a treat!”
