The wild wild west

When AKMA proposes that these two buffoons go to their corners and solve their problems hand to hand, it makes sense:

If Saddam knocks George out, the US leaves the Gulf and we let the inspectors do the work that the UN has commissioned them to do, without browbeating the UN to start a war that only the US wants to start. If George wins, Saddam steps down and the UN oversees a peaceful transition to a new, hypothetically-democratic regime.

Imagine the films afterward, the commentary, the biggest match ever, bigger than the Superbowl, the Olympics and the FIFA World Cup combined. Can you imagine the commercials?
I don't think it woudl be so easy to assume we would know how this thing would end, though. Saddam has military training, however fat and lazy we might protray him. He knows guns and fighting dirty. Bush, on the other hand, knows guns and fighting dirty, and he can outrun Saddam. It would be an even match. Sort of like watching Rocky, but with the world peace at stake.
AKMA, shame on you, I was trying to keep this thing serious.
