Well, I guess Saddam failed to stone his sons.  So, was that because he
wanted his loving kids to take a great Ba'ath in the sky or was that just his
way of telling them he hated them, too?  Does the fact this information about
Saddam getting stoned, but failing to stone his sons (to death) comes from a
CAR dealer weaken the credibilty of this great insight?  How come the stone
wasn't magic enough to save his empire or his regime?  He picked a garnet
because it was cheaper than a ruby?  He shouldn't be dinking around with
semi-precious stones that could seriously rock his world!  So much for the
half-measures of semi-black sorta-magic.  Rock n Roll.  KM
