Saadam's death

[inar]

I am not sure how I feel about his hanging today. I am glad he has been punished for his crimes, but at the same time, it seems like an easy way out for him. I would have liked to seem him stood trial for the rest of the atrocities that he started

for the Republicans, perhaps latin american immigrants?

I also think all the other US clients in the region, that is all the puppet regimes the US has financed and militarily/economically backed over the years, are going to turn and think to themselves: "if the US could do this to their once most-loyal supporter in the region, what does that mean for us?"

I think the move is designed to further intimidate a lot of the puppet regimes the US is backing to warn them against turning towards the EU or Asia like Iraq was doing, but I think it's going to have the ironic effect of hastening their turning to the EU and China and Russia, and alternatively developing strong isolationist policies and pan-regional natonalist ideology. I think this will hasten the realignment of the middle east power structure.

Kim il Jong will be the next 'bad guy'.
