On the eve of the most joyous Jewish holiday.

The preparations for Purim, one of the most joyous Jewish holidays, are at full speed in Jewish communities all around the world. This year, the Jews of Ukraine have a special approach. Instead of the usual "Ears of Aman" baked for the occasion, people attending the principal synagogue of Kiev can buy the "Ears of Saddam".
Despite a certain religious inexactitude, the approach to the Purim celebration chosen by the Jewish community of Ukraine is a 100% justified one. The Persian minister Aman, whose ears the Jews from around the world eat with great pleasure, and Saddam Hussein, the current dictator of Persia-Iraq, have a lot in common, especially when it comes down to the attitude towards the Jews.
Hussein, just like his predecessor from the Bible, would be extremely happy had he a chance to wipe out every single Jew from the face of the Earth. So, why not substitute the usual "Ears of Amman" with the "Ears of Saddam"? By the way, they even sound similar.
