I just wanna go on the record before the deed is done: executing Saddam is a BAD idea. What purpose is it going to serve besides throwing gas on an out of control fire? Personally I think we ought to leave Iraq post haste, help the government get on their feet some other way, and give each Iraqi 10,000 dollars an Xbox and an hallmark apology card.  And apologize in general to the world's Muslims. It's clear now why Saddam was such a bastard, to control a "country" made up of Shiites, Sunnis and Kurds would take one iron fist. Meanwhile, Osama is still one happy guy.
