I've been meaning to mention that they caught Saddam Hussein in his hidey-hole on Saturday night. I was surprised. Glad. I hope GWB doesn't get re-elected, though.
Part of me hopes they don't execute Hussein. If they lock him up forever, then the world will get to watch his further physical and psychological decline. I think letting him rot in a cell would be greater punishment than death, since he's used to comfort, fearful respect, and luxury.
If I hadn't seen such riches
I could live with being poor
I think it would also be politically wiser to keep him alive and decaying, so that he doesn't become a martyr (I'm so sick of that word.). I figure he'll say enough extra-loopy things between now and his death to alienate even more people. This is more important, in the grand scheme of things, than choosing the correct punishment.
