This is a great domain for a controversial political issue. Should the former scumbag dictator be returned to power to stop civil war, etc... any thoughts?

Have no idea about the value. Only say good luck to you!

Thanks. I believe it's an interesting topic. I planned on creating a flash video game that dealt with breaking Saddam out of prison and then play as Saddam and lay down the law in Iraq by killing all your enemies..gasing, torture...all highly controversial, which equals marketing hype and lots of traffic. If you lose the game then Saddam would be hanged in the city square by the Iraqi people. So if you lose the game, you still win! Anyway, I don't have the time for this idea, so someone else could use many other ideas to create a buzz.

just got this message from a popular buy/sell site:
"I am writing to you with regards to the above domain for which you have recently purchased a place in our featured listings. After careful consideration, we have decided not to allow this domain be placed in our showcase - this is due to the offensive it may cause and the fact that many would find it insensitive to see someone making profit from other people's misfortune."

seems silly to me. It's just a name.
