[Mishmash] Saddam's Verdict at Hand

I was impressed with the timing.

Well,

    Saddam has been convicted and sentenced to death by hanging.

    I can't say I'm suprised about that.  But what I am surprised about is
how relatively calm (considering the culture) that Iraq has remained since
the verdict.  There were some people (about a thousand, from what I've
heard) running around Baghdad firing AK-47s in celebration.  But in Saddam's
home town, they carried pictures of Saddam and shouted 'Death to the U.S.'.

    It'll be interesting to observe the changes in the world this week.

    Regards,
