According to the major news outlets, Saddam Hussein is now dead; executed for the first of a stream of crimes against humanity, namely his own people.

Good riddance.

By all accounts, the initial response from the Iraqi people are celebratory. Perhaps this will reawaken the “common Iraqi” to the fight that needs to be taken to the insurgents, terrorists, and various other piss ants who still yearn for a life under savage dictatorship. One can hope.
