Saddam underdog hero in Indonesia


Saddam Hussein has gained a place on the streets of Indonesia, home to the world's largest Muslim population.

The Iraqi leader has become somewhat of an underdog hero for many Muslims around the world. Even struggling artists are making a living selling his picture.

"As a humanist, I support Saddam. Just like many oppressed people support Saddam. The point is President Bush completely underestimated him," says Djidjit Kadito, an artist.
