My guess is we are experiencing the calm before the storm. Well done Pres. Bush...

The stupidity of the Baghdad puppets beggars belief. First, they commission a kangaroo court which refuses to consider charges relating to the invasion of Iran in 1980, or the gassing of the Kurds or any other event in which the Western powers were complicit.
The farcical trial itself allowed Saddam, in the eyes of the mass of people in the Middle East, to replace the humiliating image of his capture with him as the confident accuser from the dock. The perfunctory dismissal of the appeal and the dossier of complaints from international jurists only added to the perception of "victor’s justice".
Then they film Saddam Hussein’s last moments. The newsreaders seemed perplexed at his composure. Did they want him to rant and rave or collapse in a blubbering heap or in some other way play the allotted role of pantomime villain?
It's all of a piece with the infantilised fable which public opinion has been fed on for a decade and a half.
In truth, just about no one imagines this tawdry execution will diminish the violence in Iraq. On the contrary, it will increase manifold. Ominously, the latest communique from the Iraqi resistance said the execution would be be met with swift and terrible vengeance, exacted "everywhere".
The Bush/Blair blunder in Iraq becomes more extreme by the day. They have already succeeded in strenthening Iran in southern Iraq and the the region - which Saddam's US-backed invasion was meant to forever forstall. Now in the eyes of tens of millions of Arabs they are turning Saddam into something he strove but failed to be - a hero.

You hit the nail on the head! The killing of Saddam will only intensify the civil war in Iraq. It simply is more evidence that Bush et al don't give a rip about the safety of our troops over there, that all they care about is trying to satisfy their insatiable thirst for blood and violence.

Killing. Give it much thought. Now if a evil man such as Hitler or Saddam kills we think it is horrible. Yet, somehow, many justify the end by the means. They think it is somehow okay to kill? If killing is so horrible (and it is) then why do so many celebrate this death? If we get raped, should we have someone rape the perpetrator? Doesn't this take us back to barbaric days? Have we not achieved a higher level of humanity, a higher level of intelligence, a better way of living?

i think of that through fact the preliminary invasion of Iraq the main factor this is long previous horribly incorrect is the lack of ability of actual communique between the allied forces and the human beings of Iraq. We have been initially welcomed by using such somewhat some who have been chuffed to be freed from Hussein's regime yet then we dealt with the aftermath of the conflict and his capture in thoroughly the incorrect way. Understandably there replaced into alot of unrest among the human beings of Iraq, alongside with each and every of the underground communities who observed the invasion as their threat to stamp their dictatortorial mark on the rustic (some in Hussein's call and a few not) and people who concept the invasion of their u . s . a . by using all people as thoroughly unlawful. yet somewhat of attempting to calm the region and are available including the human beings to discover the thank you to barter a manner for them to take actual administration of their own u . s . a . we've persevered, for the main section, on being an unrelenting and uncompromising tension interior their own cities. I hate to declare it however the conceitedness of our leaders and governments performs a substantial section in this; continuously pressuming all of us be attentive to what's appropriate without relenting any actual quantity of capacity for a lot too long to the rustic we've been meant to be liberating.

There were still some Iraq citizens who feared his return. They now know this won't happen.
EDIT - I too would like to throw in a WELL DONE for President Bush and I sincerely mean it.

I think that this will allow the Iraqis move on. With Saddam gone they no longer have that fear of reprisal from him. There is no coming back from the grave. As far as his trial is concerned. He got a much fairer one than his victims.

The Iraqis are celebrating his death, and may be, just may be, they will put their differences aside and embrace each other.
Other than that.....
