From this fine news source:

Now that Saddam Hussein has lost his grip on Baghdad, one Los Angeles city councilman is talking of making the bombed-out metropolis of 5 million a sister city.

Councilman Dennis Zine, who also was the force behind the council's unanimous vote Friday condemning the vanquished Iraqi leader, said he wants Los Angeles-area businesses to be involved in rebuilding the war-torn country.

In all fairness to Zine, he voted against the council's previous pro-Saddam resolution.
