That's a strange definition of democracy.



Saddam had once studied law but hadn't completed the progam. He
decided, as president, that he would like the degree. So, he showed
up at the oral exams with two bodyguards, and looked at the
professors while cleaning his fingernails with the blade sight of his
pistols.

After the professors retired to deliberate, one said "Shocking! He
does not demonstrate the slightest knowledge of Iraqi law."

A wiser professor countered. "No. He has just given us a demonstration
that he understands current Iraqi law, perfectly."

Fortunately, his idea of jurisprudence will not help him now.



Amen.
