The Rush to Hang

Saddam Execution Set to Destabilise Iraq Further

Former dictator Saddam Hussein is due to be executed soon in a move that could bring more instability in an increasingly violent and chaotic occupation.

The circus of an execution. Will his dead body be paraded about as the bodies of his sons were? And for what purpose? Sure his actions against fellow countrymen and Iranians was disgusting. But is capital punishment the answer? Or is this just the way to get back at him for those threats to Poppy Bush?
