My officemate just said something about a poll that was conducted somewhere that ranked Saddam Hussein above Tom Cruise with a list of people you'd rather be stuck on a desert island with. Quite frankly, I'm not surprised.
I mean, Saddam just seems like someone who you'd enjoy spending time with so you could annoy him by laughing at him pointing and shouting at things and not having his bodyguards around to do everything for him (such as kill you for laughing at him). After a while, once he's gotten tired of the shouting and pointing and realised it doesn't get him anywhere (like a kid having a tantrum), you know you could probably get him do what you want, such as make an impressive three-story treehouse of banana leaves, sticks and chewing gum or reinvent the wheel.
Tom Cruise, on the other hand, seems far more scary. Almost like he'd wait for you to fall asleep before killing you and eating your eyeballs or something. Or calling you Hubbard and insisting that the volcano on the island is the place where you should be rescuing thetans from or whatever. He's appear creepily even though you'd thought you'd left him behind on the other side of the island so you could catch some sun in peace without hearing the name "L. Ron" again for the morning... Or he'd jump on the treehouse couch and break it.
So, out of the two, definitely not the Cruise on the island.
Because somehow, inspite of it all, he's somehow much more scary than Saddam and you really don't want to think about what he could do if he ran Iraq... o.0
For something serious on Iraq, read the Baghdad Burning blog on the side under my blog links. It's just a little bit down from the bottom of this post... Yes... you should read it. Go on, click! :)

Hmm, you make some wise choices there!
Although with Dubya, it could be amusing just to hear him talk. The daily/hourly Bushisms would at least keep you laughing until the rescue boat arrived. And he'd be out of the way and wouldn't be able to do more damage to the world *lol*
