Saddam Hussein is Dead

The Iraqi people tried Saddam Hussein for his crimes against his own people and they hanged him for it. Saddan Hussein is dead. Justice is served with and for the people of Iraq and their own judges and hearings made it so. This will not by any means make our troops mission any easier. The target on the United States Military uniform will be wider and even more defined and I don't like that fact.

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Three years after he was hauled from a hole in the ground by pursuing U.S. forces, Saddam Hussein was hanged Saturday under a sentence imposed by an Iraqi court, an Iraqi official told NBC News.

The deposed president was found guilty over the killing of 148 members of the Shiite population of the town of Dujail after militants tried to assassinate him there in 1982, during Iraq’s war with Shiite Iran.

Asked if Saddam were dead, the official in the Iraqi prime minister's office said, “Yes, the body of Saddam Hussein is in front of me.” -MSNBC

Even though Saddam was sentenced to death by his own people it will still lash back at America for any given reason. I'm glad the bastard was put to death but I fear for all of our military participants in Iraq.
