he'd have to make it profitable and sell tickets. I can't imagine anyone with big bucks would fund that. At the very least they have to wait and see if he's prosecuted for any number of things. I bet every dime he's grifting is spent the second he gets it.

It'll be fun to see what happens to Uday and Qusay. If the former guy goes down (farther), how the hell do they maintain enough income to support their lavish lifestyle? As soon as he's irrelevant, so are they. I wouldn't be surprised if they are getting cut off already.
