Britain's opposition Liberal Democratic Party spokesman put this matter best. He said: "Saddam's death does not vindicate in any way the ill-conceived and disastrous decision to invade Iraq. His execution does not make an illegal war legal any more than it will put an end to the violence and destruction."

What real good does this execution do anyone? ANd why does the media, especially Fox News have to keep showing us pictures of the gallows?

Tis base....

Yep, turning him over to Sadr's thugs after a show trial really helped to spread that Democracy in the Middle East!

It also means Saddam will never be tried for his other many atrocities, including the Anfal campaign against the Kurds -- an act committed under the eyes of Reagan and Bush Sr. and while he was our ally. The Pentagon must be breathing a sigh of relief that that episode will never get weeks of details aired in a courtroom.
