Dear Saddam

To: Saddam Rushdie. the legally elected ruler of Irack
From: Barbra Streisand

Stan, first let me say that I'm sorry that the Iranians want to kill you because you wrote some stupid book. I mean that was a long time ago. They should get over it, since now you're a Muslim hero standing up to our selected not elected president. You got 99.9% of the vote in your country. In our country, Al what's his name got a majority of the vote, (probably 90 to 95 percent) and our court of the Supremes handed him the election. I still don't know understand why Diana Ross got involved. I tried to read the Constitution so I could understand what was going on, but when I got to that part about promoting generals on welfare, I thought it was getting too silly and quit. I'm hoping that Bill Clintan's wife, Helen, will explain it to me.

Anyway, let me tell you that I agree with Mike Farrell and that cute little Jane
Giraffalo that we would be wrong to start a war with you. Let the inspections work. I can tell that you are cooperating fully with the United Nations. The French are correct in their objections and they are so much more civilized than we crude Americans. After all, they have all those tree lined streets so the Germans can march in the shade. I've even been to France. I was at the Canned Film Festival once.

I'm really sorry we have that dumb cowboy as president. What we really need is someone like Bill Clanton. I don't know why he didn't run again. He was the best president this country ever had. Or we could have had Jimmy Carter. Bill and Jimmy did such a good job with North Korea and now with Busch as president, we're having problems with North Korea again. If Bush were smart he would send Jimmy Carter to talk to the Koreans and Bill to talk to you. I know we could get these problems straightened out. It's all just a misunderstanding.

I'd like to write more, but Martin Sheen just called and wants to talk to me about joining his group, Artists Untied to Win Without War. Now, wouldn't Martin Sheen make a good president?

Luv ya,
Babs
