The most insane thing that could possibly ever happen

Saddam declares his intention to run in the Iraqi elections scheduled for January. If, through some legal loophole (or simple lack of applicable laws), he is able to run, what if he wins? They don't have a two party system over there, I believe, and Rumsfeld has already said that some areas simply won't be able to vote because of security concerns. So if the Baathist community rallied around him and used terrorist attacks to suprress voter turnout in heavily Shiite and Kurdish areas, maybe they could get him back in a real election. I can't imagine that would ever happen. We'd never let it happen. But how completely insane would it be? I can't even comprehend.
