Hussein should've been tried at the Hague, or held until Iraq had a stable government and a stable judicial system, but that wouldn't have packed the same political punch.

Iraqis can't vote, simply because they're in Iraq."<br /><br />You're joking, right? The timing is obviously meant to make voters IN AMERICA think Iraq is on the right track. It's not meant to win over Iraqis. "October Surprises" are always about manipulating voters here with stuff that happens either here or overseas. “I don’t think the verdict had squat to do with the mid-term election.

Iraqis can't vote, simply because they're in Iraq. If Hussein was to get the death penalty, it would have to have been done by 30 days.

Been going through your editorial cartoon site, and there was some great stuff there. I guess you have your hands full with two comic strips though, huh? If you had to choose, I'd say you chose right. I loves me some Candorville.<br /><br />Why am I not surprised about Saddam? I really don't think it's going to change people's minds about Iraq, but it might give a little bump that'll last a few days, just like when Zarqawi was killed, and that might be enough to win them the elections. Sigh. This makes me wish you’d draw editorial cartoons again. Been going through your editorial cartoon site, and there was some great stuff there.
