Saddam's Daughter Conflicted in Role

AMMAN, Jordan (AP) - Raghad Saddam Hussein said in an interview published Tuesday that as the eldest living child of the former Iraqi leader she must become a politician, because her father and many Iraqis were depending on her.

"I am the daughter of Saddam, my mother is Saddam's wife, my children are the grandchildren of Saddam," she told the London-based Asharq Al-Awsat daily newspaper. "You do not understand, but I have commitments. I bear his name and he depends on me."

"He needs my help after the death of my brothers. I am the only one ... and today I have to help my father," she said.

I don't think that Ragbag will receive much support in the Shiite community.
