Saddam has been tried by an Iraqi court, convicted, and sentenced to death by hanging. We all threw our hats in the air, or whatever you did when you heard the news.
Is that going to be a good thing for Iraq? We have already said yes, in these pages.
However, it might be useful to think about it a little longer.
What is at stake is the stability of Iraq. What is needed is an Iraqi solution.
And it would help if it were one that was perceived as a just solution by Iraq and its neighbors.
It might be something we would NEVER consider doing here.
If that bothers you, just look at all the things we do around here that they would never do.
Something to think about.
