Court: Execute Saddam within 30 days

Iraq's highest appeals court on Tuesday upheld the death sentence for Saddam Hussein in his first trial and said it must be carried out within 30 days. The sentence "must be implemented within 30 days," chief judge Aref Shahin. "From tomorrow, any day could be the day of implementation."
It looks like the Butcher of Iraq is going to be sent to realm of fire and brimstone where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
The unrepentant Saddam Hussein will be executed anytime between now and thirty days. The only justification Hussein offers for his heinous crimes against humanity and his own citizens was that he IS still President and leader of unjustly removed by the .
The only thing IS and was certain, is that Hussein is a certifiable genocidal criminally insane nut case.

We too have our ceremonial cleansings: http://islewood.vox.com/library/post/our-soldiers-scapegoats-for-murder.html
Most soldiers in Iraq are committed to aid Iraq in establishing a central government. Most soldiers in Iraq are abhorent of the America's left continually hamstring the military by the Left's lack of support.
Saddam Hussein is not a scapegoat. He is a genocidal murderer that killed Shi'ites and Kurds for one reason: to ensure that his Sunni supporters could maintain minority rule over the majority of the citizens of Iraq. Saddam must face justice and if his supporters are the insurgents blowing up Shi'ite, they too must face justice. That means they agreed with the Saddam's genocide.
Iraq needs more American troops with a different strategy: a hands on win the war instead of a hands off don't offend anyone. When the back bone of insurgency on both Sunni and Shi'ite sides are dealt with, then America should leave. If a democratic central Iraqi government cannot find stability after that, it is the short sightedness of the blood feud minded Iraqis that will doom the area to despotism.
America's job is to eliminate terrorists that wish the doom of America. It is irrelevant if the terrorists were directly involved in 9/11 or not. It is enough that Muslim terrorists of all ideologies wish the demise of America. They need to be hunted down and held accountable in the only way that is understood by a Muslim - going medieval on them.
As for “most soldiers in Iraq:” they are where they were sent. That is what soldiers do.
As for what soldiers think of the “left”, some soldiers are politically on the left and as soldiers are sworn to do, they protect all citizens Constitutional rights to speak out for or against whatever they so choose.
As for “scapegoats,” you may not be concerned about the four young soldiers that went to serve in harms way and were so totally neglected upon their return home. I am.
As for your concern about “Saddam”: he is not a nice guy. Too bad Cheney did not keep that in mind when he was over there years ago talking to him. He might have said, Saddam dear friend, we regret that you would gas all of those Kurds while being our alley against Iran. But, you go ahead and worry about Saddam’s justice, I will think about our troops.
As for your seeing “the short sightedness of the blood feud minded Iraqis.” The problem is not one of being “short sighted.” These folks have been divided by old scores that come down through the centuries. They did not become Sunni, Shi'i or ethnic Kurds in the last few years.
America's job is to protect the interests of Americans. Bush has not done this by committing troops into an area that posed no threat to us. Rather than deal with terrorism, he diverted the effort. His going into Iraq makes no more sense than if following Japan’s Dec. 7, 1941 attack and Hitler’s declaration of war upon us, FDR would have committed our troops to invade Fascist Argentina. But he and our allies were too smart to misdirect our effort away from the real task. Bush’s preemptive war in Iraq is not “irrelevant” it has made our effort more difficult.
As for you suggestion, “the only way that is understood by a Muslim - going medieval on them,” I suspect that you are into “medieval” thinking,” but I would rather doubt that you are much of an expert on “Muslim understanding.”
Do have a good day, and I support our troops, all of them, but I do not speak for all of them any more than you do.
