Saddam Hangs

Iraqis ring in the new year with the execution of their old dictator, Saddam Hussein. He was hanged 54 days after his conviction for mass murder. (Why can't we get speedy trials like that in the US? Here in Florida, we discontinued executions because someone alleged the lethal injections might actually "hurt" the murderers. Incredible.) They're saving Saddam's bloodthirsty 1/2 brother's execution for another occasion. Of course, the religious fighting continues. See Chick's THE EXECUTION.
