Yes that's right the former ruler of Iraq, Saddam has his namesake up for auction on eBay right now. At this moment the bidding stands at $2,751 after 18 bids, but I can imagine that going a lot higher. Saddam Hussein, reported by Mercury News to have been NOT a dictator, is on trial just now for war crimes. Judge Abdullah al-Amiri said
You are not a dictator. You were not a dictator. However, the people or the individuals and officials surrounding you created a dictator.
This will obviously anger lots of folks because from where they were sitting he looked an awful lot like a dictator.
Saddam is now synonymous with the former Iraqi leader, but let us not forget it is just a first name and many other people may want to buy it for something completely unrelated to Hussein. To keep an eye on it, or put in a bid for it click here.
*edit: Auction ended at US $3,149.00
