In a documentary recently screened here (I think it was a Frontline one) one of Saddam's CIA contacts tells how he went to visit the man in Baghdad in the 70s. There, Saddam showed him his library,which to the guy's utter amazement was full of Stalin. "Aren't you anti-Communist?" he asked and Saddam is said to have replied "Do you think Stalin was a communist?"
If the story is true, that's the end of the argument.
