One on one debates

Apparently Saddam Hussein has challenged President Bush to a live one on one debate. I think that Bush should go for it. Based on Saddam's previous television appearances in the West it seems very likely to me that this would be a boost for Bush on the American street. It certainly appears that Saddam is so disconnected from reality that he's bound to make multiple statements that will be perceived as gaffes in the US, e.g. "Bush is attacking because ZOG told him to". Of course, my co-worker BBB was concerned about setting a precedent, but that doesn't worry me very much. If we believe that we're right, more discussion favors us, not our enemies.
