Norway's Saddam Hussein seeks change of name
April 1 2003
An Iraqi Kurd refugee living in Norway finds his name Saddam Hussein too troublesome, and has applied to have it changed officially, the Oslo newspaper Aftenposten reported.
"It's no fun being called Saddam Hussein these days," the 20-year-old Kurd, who lives in the town of Nome in the northern district of Telemark, was quoted as saying.
"When my father chose the name 20 years ago, we didn't know about Saddam. The president was a respected man, even among Kurds," he added.
Saddam said he had received obscene calls from people who found his name in the telephone directory.
He has applied to the Norwegian authorities to have his name changed to Dastanse Rasol Hussein.
Saddam, whose grandmother and several other relatives were killed in Iraqi military poison gas attacks on the Kurdish town of Halabja in March 1988, arrived in Norway as a refugee two years ago.
His mother still lives in Iraq, and he fears for her safety.

Norway? Not likely, but this is a possibility:
"Baghdad pre-paid and chartered entire Hotel Cote d’Azur De Cham Resort at Syrian Mediterranean port of Latakiya near Assad family villa. Group may include Saddam Hussein or his sons, but this is not confirmed.
Top Iraqi officials hiding there since March 23, four days after coalition invaded Iraq, guarded by Syrian commando unit armed with anti-air missiles and Syrian naval missile boats securing port."As Churchill famously predicted when Chamberlain returned from Munich proclaiming peace in his time: "You were given the choice between war and dishonor. You chose dishonor, and you will have war." -
Mirror_Image,
You have a link to that story?I'd like to read it.Not to start a flamewar but I wouldn't doubt it as the Syrian Govt. has been linked to terrorists and it would be better to have "all the eggs in one basket". -

AND1, got any pictures with a Domo-kun posing with Saddam? -
poor guy,can you imagine having a name like that at this point in time?

We all know that there's several Saddam Hussein.....but who's the real one?
-
LOL....Are you sure it's Saddam on this photo or is't one of his "stand-ins".
I guess that the President of France, Mr Girac, doesn't have a problem to have a stand-in.
