Hang'm High

Looks like they're gonna string up Saddam tonight. Somehow I doubt the event will have the impact and significance the WH foresaw when they got started on this. The media will try to make a big deal out of it and maybe even show tape (if available) but I believe the American public is indifferent to his fate.

Hang'm or don't..either way, it will not alter anyone's life here. It is also not likely to have a positive effect on anything occurring in Iraq. It will probably increase instability if anything in the short term so it won't serve any purpose that will help our troops...overall a net zero for almost everyone who doesn't have a personal revenge motive. The WH doesn't even appear to be trying to trot out the "milestone" angle because no one buys that garbage anymore. The boogie man has lost his mojo I guess.
