I was reading that former Iraq dictator Saddam Hussein is to hang within 30 days having exhausted all avenues of appeal and while i am against the death penalty as a penalty, i can’t bring myself to feel anything about Hussein being sentanced to death. Earlier i caught the TV news where applications in Iraq to be the executioner were flooding in, many from the family members left from the victims that he was responsible for killing. I’m predicting that it will be sooner rather than later.
On a related topic i also heard an interesting statistic. When invading Iraq one of hte reasons given was to stop terrorists. More US soliders have now been killed than victims killed on 9/11.
Update – found a link to the later US Iraq troop deaths surpass September 11 toll

Thats a very interesting fact that you’ve quoted. I guess Iraqi terrorists win with every Western death.
