...exercise off their excess weight through intercourse. But unless they follow Friedman's low-fat and low-carbohydrate diet as well, they are unlikely to shed many pounds. A single act of intercourse, according to Friedman, burns an average of 200 calories... Many doctors eschew eccentric diets and insist that their patients learn instead to eat differently for the rest of their lives.

Saddam's PR offensive won't carry the day in Congress, but it may make a difference with his real target audience: his Arab neighbors. Baghdad knows the U.S. will find it difficult to go to war without regional support, both politically and strategically.
