"We Got Him"

The US has finally got their prize – Saddam Hussein.

It’s hard to know how to feel about the capture. This man obviously needs to be brought to justice, but whose justice will it be?

Will ‘the coalition’ hand him over to the Iraqi people to be tried and sentenced? I doubt it. I imagine they’ll want to ensure that Saddam gets the punishment they think he deserves.

One of the saddest things is that the capture will be seen by many through the eyes of political advantage. Bush’s political opposition have been pushing the line that the US forces couldn’t even capture Saddam. Now it’ll be Bush’s turn to score cheap political points. And I’m sure that the polls will now swing towards Bush and, here in Australia, back towards Howard to some degree, just because one man has been arrested.
