Any American that has read the Iraq Study Group Report, which obviously not too many U.S. political leaders have, should have a partly clear idea of the repercussions that will follow Hussein’s execution. While I do not know too many who will argue in his favor in terms of being allowed to live, his death will certainly create more and more controversy in the Middle East, and–in my opinion–will in many ways heighten our likelihood for another major terrorist attack. I think it is very important as a nation to not kid ourselves and celebrate his death to the point where we ignore the dangers that very well could arise from Saddam’s death. Even more, we should definitely not see the execution as the end to our problems in any sense, as (undue) difficulty almost certainly lies ahead.
And for dramatic effect, here’s a video of the fucker dying.
