Here's an idea inspired by recent net/world events:

     The Berlin Wall Chain Letter

Simply send a piece of the Berlin Wall (going rate is $10) to the
  Dictator at the top of the following list. Then remove him from
  the list, and add your self at the bottom. In a few weeks, you'll
  be recieving thousands of pieces, enough to build a wall around
  your own country!

	1) Deng Hsiao Ping
	2) Manuel Noriega
	3) Mohamar Khadafi
	4) Daniel Ortega
	5) Nicolae Ceausescu

P.S. If any of the above dictators are no longer in power, please remove
  them from the list, its getting difficult to keep it up to date lately.
