More pilfery by me:Jens, a regular poster at Tacitus says:

Remember the half-jocular ironic offer of a duel Bush vs. Hussein?

Well, Kirk would have accepted and won it! Even if he would have to strangle three Iraqi Fedejin, win the heart of some Iraqi beauty queen and find out the true secret of Saddam's beard. Within fourty minutes.

Janeway would have teleported Saddam on board of Voyager and talked to him until he would have offered unconditional surrender to anyone ;).
