BAGHDAD--Captured Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein has learned the true meaning of Christmas, Coalition authorities reported Wednesday. "As Christmas approached, Hussein sulked and complained all the time about being away from his palaces and wouldn't stop talking about this Erector set he wanted," reported Pfc. Jason Whitmore, one of the soldiers guarding Saddam. The former dictator's attitude changed when he met with a little Iraqi boy named Ali. "He really melted the old guy's heart. He told him all he wanted for Christmas was to be able to live with his family in a free Iraq." Though Saddam expressed no remorse at having executed Ali's parents, he was reportedly touched by the boy's sentiments. "From that day on, he was only concerned with letting those around him know how much he loved them and didn't talk about Erector anymore," Whitmore said. This attitude reportedly made Saddam's unwrapping of the Erector set on Christmas day all the sweeter.
