Saddam is no longer on the loose, as he has apparently been captured by US troops. This will be a good thing if he is given some sort of trial (although I'm not sure what would be the proper venue. I figure the Hague). Whatever happens now, it should be the model of fairness or else it will very likely not improve matters much.

I wonder if the resistance to the occupation will stop now. The US has been keen to blame it on his loyalists to this point, you know.
