By this time tomorrow, the odds are pretty good that Saddam Hussein will be dead.
Personally, I think that hanging the man is stupid. Not because I am opposed to the death penalty (I am), but because no matter what is said it will be seen by many to have been an act of the United States.
A dead Hussein is a martyr - one rotting in a jail cell somewhere will sooner or later be forgotten.
In the Middle East, martyrs are remembered. People will rally around their memory - and memory often becomes legend. It's damnably hard to kill legends...
A progressive voice shining light into the darkness of regressive politics. Pretty much anything will be fair game, and little will be held sacred.

It simply contributes to the overall disaster. It does NOT make anything better and risks making things much worse.
