Im having a crisis of conscience over the hanging of Saddam. I know the guy killed alot of people, and was a tyrant. But it cannot be argued that the country was alot safer under his rule. And the reasons we went in to remove him, have entirely faltered. I mean, Im not trying to excuse this guy...he was horrible. But, it seems like we're executing a man who, in retrospect, should never have been deposed in the first place. I think anytime you can take a dictator out of power, its a good thing. But we havent found WMD's, basically plunged the country into civil war... So, what good did we do? People no longer need to fear Saddam, but they need now to fear the up and coming and warring tribes who, essentially, just took his place. It's a cycle that never ends and never will end. Will the deaths keep coming? We traded one tyrant for 3 groups of tyrants. AND...now, looking in hindsight, it looks like we quite illegally deposed Saddam, and, are responsible for his death.

He had to be got rid of - or he would have become the leader of Sunni revolt. His mere existance was fuelling the war. But the country's problems are far deeper than Saddam Hussein. He, when in power, bad as he was, was actually the glue holding a fractured nation together.

Unknown. Not sure I can understand much about Iraq. Certainly, the media is not helping anyone understand it.

Only time will tell. The 'dust' will have to settle to see the true effects.
