I woke up this morning to a good 3" of snow and turned on the news to find out how bad the roads were, only to hear a special report on the capture of Saddam Hussein. I fully expected, as I listened, to learn that he was dead. He's not. We captured him without gunshots or bloodshed. How unexpected.
The news has reported some details of the capture and is punditizing the ramifications on the war, as well as the upcoming presidential election. So far, no speculation on what's going to happen to Hussein now. To me, that seems to be one of the most pressing questions. It's where and how he is tried, in my opinon, that will likely affect the state of affairs in Iraq and the presidential election.
What will happen if we try him? What will happen if Iraq does? What about the World Court?
Ah, as was I'm typing, Dan Rather just poised the question to Senator Joe Biden (D) of Delaware who thinks Hussein should be tried by Iraq with oversight by the World Court.
While this tyrant's capture is certainly wonderful news, what I selfishly want to know is how this will help me find a job and get out of the mess of my life!
