Hating on Saddam and Nixon

The letter issued today by Saddam Hussein is oddly similar to Richard Nixon's farewell speech. Here are the key passages from the doomed men:

Nixon, 1974: "Always remember, others may hate you, but those who hate you don't win unless you hate them. And then you destroy yourself."

Saddam, 2006: "I call on you not to hate because hate does not leave space for a person to be fair, and it makes you blind and closes all doors of thinking."
