"Fuzzy and Blue" is a song that Grover and Cookie Monster sing on Sesame Street. Like Grover and Cookie, I care about children, I am BLUE, i.e., I am a DEMOCRAT, and I believe that we need to respect, encourage and foster the well being and prosperity of all creatures, regardless of wealth status, education, race, religion, or sexual orientation.

Saddam Accepted UAE Exile Plan to Avert Iraq War
Reuters: "Deposed Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein had secretly accepted a last-minute plan to go into exile to avert the 2003 Iraq war, but Arab leaders shot the proposal down. UAE Pres Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan al-Nahayan made the proposal for Saddam to go into exile at an emergency Arab summit just wks before the war began in March 2003. But the 22-member Arab League, led by Secretary-Genrl Amr Moussa, refused to consider the initiative." Maybe the members of these Arab nations received an offer they couldn't refuse... an offer that promised them a chance to plunder and gulp down the blood-money and blood-oil along w/ Halliburton, perhaps?
