Here's a great way to end war and make the world a better place...AND to make a shitload of money!
Early on in the Iraq dispute, Saddam Hussein (or one of his aides) suggested that he and Bush should fight it out man to man in single combat. Ari Fleischer pissed on the idea, but think about it!
It could be the next reality TV extravaganza! I'm picturing something like Celebrity Death Match. Bush and Saddam would be placed in an arena and would have to fight it out with each other, hand to hand. There could be different types of fights, some based on a number of rounds, others to the death. In a cross between "American Idol" and Imperial Roman gladiator matches, views could call in to vote whether the victorious leader gets to kill the other one. Each world leader could develop his own costume and personality in the style of high 80s professional wrestling. They'd bitch each other out and have their own cadre of sidekicks or cheerleaders who would perform their leader's signature song or dance move.
The advertising space for this show would be priceless, and the opportunities for merchandizing endless. The economy sucks right now, and this could turn everything around!
Some matches I'd like to see:
Tag team match: Gerry Adams and Martin McGuinness vs. David Trimble and Ian Paisley
Gen. Pervez Musharraf vs. Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee
Sharon vs. Arafat

I thought of it more as like a substitute for war, but sure, let's toss Monica Lewinski in for fun.

Kind of like celebrity deathmatch, but real death involved. Hell, I'd watch. Especially if they knock out that Monica Lewinsky early in the season. I wish that every chick who wanted to be famous would just have to go down on a guy for it.
