Saddam’s Iraq was a truly twisted place:
The year was 2001. Iraqi security services identified a growing threat: Pokemon. The animated Japanese figure - and an entire industry of video games, films and toys - was, in fact, a Zionist plot to undermine Saddam Hussein’s regime by inflaming the fervor of Iraqi children with the help of a pocket-sized monster whose name meant in Hebrew, according to the Iraqi secret service, “I am a Jew.”
The Pokemon “threat”, of course, doesn’t justify unseating a leader and then demanding the people elect Western-friendly figure-heads.
