James Lileks is eloquent as usual about the capture of Saddam. It seems that comparisons, like the verses from Isaiah I quoted below, are coming to a lot of people. From being a builders of palaces feared by everyone in his country, he is reduced to hiding in a hole in the ground, with $750,000 in cash. That's what convinced Rumsfeld that it wasn't one of his doubles.

Now Saddam is 'Sharky," the alter-ego of Saruman the White. He's the witch crushed by Dorothy's house. Can't you hear the munchkins celebrating? How many comparisons are out there, I wonder? How about a contest on Instapundit or Best of the Web.
