Saddam Captured

Saddam Hussein was captured early this morning in a small town along the corridor between Tikrit and Baghdad.
This is big news I guess, but I can’t bring myself to be excited right away. I am thinking ahead to the trial or whatever will happen to him next. I can’t help but think that even though we managed to capture him alive and reasonably well people are going to continue to find things to be upset about with our handling of this situation as well.
I guess that is just life though. No matter what you do (when you’re doing something important) someone will likely be unhappy with you. I am glad that he is no longer roaming free, but I wonder what court he will be tried under, and I wonder if it will really make a difference in the effort to calm and rebuild Iraq. I certainly hope so.
