The Mahdi Army of Moqtada al-Sadr are the good guys? They do ecologically friendly ethnic cleansing using lead-free bullets or something?
Anyone see the rumour that Sadr himself has got the noose? Since Saddam had his dad murdered, this seems only fair. Dubya, on the other hand, has Saddam's pistol, but his dad was famously not murdered by Saddam. Funny how those two religious madmen share so much, really.
Funny how the head of the avowedly secular Ba'ath Party came over all religious at the end, eh? Wonder who that was aimed at?
What isn't funny is all the Kurds who will not see Saddam in court for his crimes against them. The message was that the Shia are in charge, the Shia get the justice, the Shia carry out the sentence and everyone else can, well, go hang. Personally I'd have let him rot in prison, drag him out once a year, try and convict him of another crime, give him another hundred years or so and shove him back in the cooler. No martyrdom, no idiotic dancing executioners, no fuss, perhaps even a chance of justice.
