To the Editor: 

It would be easy to get rid of Saddam Hussein in only10 days. President George W. Bush has this power. All George W. has to do is endorse Saddam Hussein and tell America and the world that Saddam is a nice guy.  

This would immediately trigger the greatest hate movement the world has ever seen. We all know that anything that George W. says or does is wrong and he will destroy world peace as well as trigger global warming, cheat stockholders, kill salmon, pollute our air and water and destroy the environment. 

If George W. says Saddam is great, the United Nations will hate Saddam; the Democrats will hate Saddam, the Russians will hate Saddam; the Euro-intelligentsia will hate Saddam; the NAACP will hate Saddam; the Eco-Freaks will hate Saddam; the Sierra Club will hate Saddam; the NOW members will hate Saddam; the Iraqi citizens will hate Saddam. Even Saddam’s mother will hate him. 

There is no way that Saddam can endure all this hate. I guarantee that if our president acts today Saddam will kill himself within 10 days.
