Saddam Hussein vs George Bush on pay-per-view?

I know, I know, hindsight is 20-20 but wouldn't it have been a much better idea instead of the Iraq war to have just put George Bush and Saddam Hussein in a boxing ring and let them go head to head in a pay-per-view match?

The hundreds of millions of likely proceeds could have been cut, let say, three ways. One third going to finance the capture of this guy Bin Laden who orchestrated the murder of over 3000 innocent people, another third to a college education fund for the children of those killed in the World Trade Centers and the final third to help improve the health care and nutrition needs of innocent Iraqi children suffering and dying from sanctions imposed on their country throughout the 1990's (the United Nations Children's Emergency Fund, UNICEF, estimates around 500,000, yes five---hundred---thousand Iraqi children died as a result of the sanctions from lack of medical supplies, malnutrition and diseases caused by lack of clean water).

Interesting world we live in, huh?
