I'm not sure what you mean.
I'm not flaming, I'm just wondering.

He has been a non-issue to the current situation there since his capture. I think it helps some of the Iraqis that have been victims or had family members that were victims. I suspect they feel some sense of justice. But I believe stability in the current Iraq is not influenced by Saddam; so I don't see his death affecting it at all.

Yeah, I'm inclinded to believe that it is not going to have a huge impact.
The only wild card is just how many people were still terrified that he was going to make a comeback....

And in an apt symbolic statement on what the Iraq War is about, two of the executioners who saw Saddam off started hailing Moktada al Sadr in Saddam's face as they prepared to hang him.
|
al Sadr's Mahdi Army is the force the 'surge' of new US troops is meant to crush next year.
There's your stability.

His execution isn't going to do squat to quiet things down. I spent enough time there during Desert Storm to know that it is not what they do but what they appear to do that matters.
They can be saying that they are glad that the U.S. is over there at the same time they are putting together an IED.
My old unit from the 3rd Inf Div "and formerly the 24th Inf Div is heading back over there about the 18th of Jan. It is unrealistic to think that they will all come back alive, I just hope they take a crap load of them to meet their 40 virgins, and from the way some of their women look----I'd rather kiss a camel.
