Saddam Is Iraq’s Elvis
“The U.S. should dig up his grave and check for his DNA,” a commenter wrote on the Arabic website Hawamer.
For some Iraqis, the “King” is still alive.
The New York Times reports that ”Since the former dictator’s execution in December 2006, numerous conspiracy theories of the Elvis variety have percolated. And with precision timing on the eve of Mr. Hussein’s birthday, a new YouTube video landed that depicted an actual recent phone call between a member of Iraq’s Parliament and a man who claimed to be Mr. Hussein, whose voice and inflection so resembled that of the former dictator’s that it even gave pause to those who are convinced that Mr. Hussein is dead.”
At least all good things come to an end.
