Say What?

In Baghdad, Saddam said: "If these two American and British administrations are able to achieve their wishes, the world will revert to a new law, which is the law of evil based on power and opportunity rather than the law of love and justice."

This is from a Reuters story. Had I been drinking something as I read this, I would have spewed. The "law of love and justice?" It's hard for me to believe that Saddam's mouth can even form those words.
