Sentencing Saddam

Saddam Hussein received his due condemnation today, sentenced to hang by the neck until dead. It took awhile to reach the verdict, but it's good for the Iraqi democracy to handle these issues themselves. That they were able to do it in the face of sectarian violence, the murder of three lawyers, the dismissal of a judge, and repeated attempts by Saddam to upset the course of justice is a testament to their resolve. Kudos to Iraq.
