Egyptian MP: Saddam Hussein was a 'real man'

I'd like to dismiss Mustafa Bakri, a member of the Egyptian parliament, as an Egyptian Ron Paul, but I can't because from all I have seen, his views seem to be quite mainstream in the country that is the third largest recipient of US foreign aid. In this video, Bakri characterizes Saddam as a 'real man' and says that when Saddam was executed, he felt as if his own head was in the noose. Too bad it wasn't.

I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004.
