Too violent for Saddam

From Tom Friedman

[Iraq] has descended into such a Hobbesian state that even Saddam called on Iraqis from his prison cell to stop killing each other.

He told insurgents, “Remember you are God’s soldiers and, therefore, you must show genuine forgiveness and put aside revenge over the spilled blood of your sons and brothers.” When Saddam is urging calm, you know things have hit a new low.
