uberreinigerI'm not enough of a jingoist to believe Saddam's capture will stop or make up for the fact we're losing 1-3 soldiers a day over there on average, but, damnit, there's just something satisfying about watching a homeless man get arrested outside the palace he used to live in! BOO-YAH! SUCKA! Hey Saddam, what's up with that beard!? You trying to evade capture by disguising yourself as Fidel Castro or what!? *Nelson laugh* HA-HAAA!!!
I agreed with the invasion of Iraq on principle, not on policy. Bush made a diplomatic catastrophe of it and we'll probably spend the next fifty years getting half of Europe to talk to us again. But wasn't it really just a matter of time? These were people who were basically looking for an excuse to stop talking to us anyway. Granted, that doesn't make it okay. And yes, undoubtedly, if we were going to throw down on anyone for being a threat to our safety, it SHOULD have been North Korea. Their murder camps are still up and running in full swing over there and no one's doing a thing about it.
Unfortunately, none of that changes one harsh, inescapable fact: Saddam had it coming. He deserves this. He may not have been the immediate threat to us our president made him out to be, but that doesn't change the fact that it couldn't have happened to a nicer person.
