Saddam Hussein will die for our sins

Saddam Hussein, Judas goat and future dead man.

Curfews and threats aside, Iraq is about to explode ... some more.
Sunday, mere moments after Saddam Hussein is sentenced to
hang for the crimes he committed (with our sanction) for decades
against the people of Iraq, a massive shitstorm is going to devour
that country. Our boys and girls are going to get caught in it, too.

In the future, movies will be made about this upcoming period
and big stars will gain indie cred for their rolls as soldiers caught
in the middle of a complicated maelstrom of political/corporate
greed. Why do the innocent have to die to fill the pockets of
Dick Cheney, the Bush's and all their cronies? Why do we keep
letting them get away with it.

I think the selection of the verdict date is politically motivated
to give the Republicans a boost in next Tuesday's election, but I
think it is going to backfire like a Howitzer with a grenade shoved
down its barrel. Sectarian violence will erupt, civilians and soldiers
will die and Americans will be reminded that our Republican
leaders let this happen.
