I always said we might have to resort to bringing him back

Maybe we don't. He'll do it the democratic way.

Overthrown Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein, who was arrested by US forces last December, reportedly plans to run as a candidate in the Iraqi elections scheduled for January 2005.

Saddam's lawyer Giovanni di Stefano told Denmark's B.T. newspaper that Saddam decided during one of their discussions that he would declare his candidacy for the elections.

Stefano said that there was no law that prevented Saddam from appearing on the ballot. He added that Saddam hopes to regain his presidency and palaces via the democratic process.

...Stefano remarked that a recent Gallup poll indicates that 42 percent of the Iraqi people want their former leader back.

Wouldn't that be a hoot? Saddam using the democractic process right out from under us while we're trying to buy the election. Ah, life's little twists.
