Below are the photos I will use for comparison.  The first two photos are prior to the war.  I literally looked at hundreds of photos and believe that the two I chose are representative of the majority of photos available, so I am assuming that this is the real Saddam - although there were several among the lot that I am not certain were him.  The last two photos are screen captures from Iraqi television dated the day after the war began, and today (April 4th). <click here for page 2>
