HOW delightful that Captain Alan Henshall, curator of the Regimental Museum of the Royal Dragoon Guards, is so pleased to have a rare painting of Iraq 'butcher' Saddam Hussein in his collection.

I feel sure it will attract a lot of interest from the relatives of British and USA casualties, and perhaps Capt Henshall could invite them to see it?

The museum should try to get hold of portraits of Dr Shipman, murderer Dennis Nilsen, and others who have blackened the name of present-day humanity?

Why not invite Saddam to be guest speaker at their next reunion? I shall not be visiting the museum.
