Everyday thousands of Iraqis queue up at the passport office in the capital, hoping to get away from President Saddam Hussein's dictatorship and growing economic pain. One day Saddam went for a drive. Seeing the long line outside the passport office, he tells his chauffeur, "Stop the car; I want to talk to these people." By the time he alights from his limo, the passport seekers have vanished. "What happened? Where are they?" Saddam demands. A bodyguard explains: "Mr. President, when they heard you were applying for a passport to leave the country, they decided to stay after all."
