Apparently Saddam Hussein was executed yesterday (I missed the news last night).
Whether or not the trial was fair (and I think the outcome was never in doubt) I do not think that overall, the ex dictator will be missed by many. What I find interesting is the wide variety of reactions his death has brought. Not a great supporter of capital punishment, but in this case, like those of the Nuremberg trails after WWII, I think the sentence is warranted.
The mess that's Iraq, however, will continue with or without the bastard.
