The hanging of Hussein prompts Bush to raise the specter of increased violence in Iraq. This engages the Iraqis once again with the American military which has been basically on the sideline with this civil war which this administration deos not want. Civil war only mitigates against the intransigence of insurgency and is the bane of this president's war posturing which is why Saddam's hanging may initiate more violence, just what the Busha dministration requested for Christmas!

I am opposed to all forms of capital punishment,but in this case I believe justice has been served. I pray that all the leaders of all the nations of this earth will take note that their actions could have a simular fate. Maybe someday we could all live in peace as was intended by God.

i know this will be a subject that will be talked about for a long time. my hope is that Saddam will not get his wish and cloud our thoughts too long and prevent us from moving into the future sans Saddam.

ummm... This event occurred in 1979 and the bombing of the Kurdish village, for which he was sentenced to death for, happened in 1982. During this time, wasn't Saddam the darling of American foreign policy?
Saddam should have used that as his defense...

Our world is a mixed up place ,to much violence and to much killing he should have hanged in one way, but there will always be someone else out there to follow his footsteps. I pray not.
