Amazing, that so many U.S. allies have abolished and oppose the death penalty (in fact, the majority of nations in the world now prohibit the death penalty), yet Bush considers this a sign of emerging democracy in Iraq - a nation in the midst of a civil war, brought on in large part by the U.S. invasion under false pretext.
The crime Hussein was hanged for, the U.S. govenment already knew about when the Reagan Administration sent special envoy Donald Rumsfeld to Iraq as a sign of support for Saddam to go to war with Iran:
More U.S. troops have now died in Afghanistan and Iraq, than people who died on 9/11. Osama is still at large, al Qaeda is still operational, and we are less safe than before, but more spied upon than ever by our own government.
The time for change has come...
