The Iraqi Civil War continues: The pro-Iranian Supreme Iraqi Criminal Tribunal hangs former dictator Saddam Hussein, at Camp Justice, in Baghdad, moments after he is turned over to Iraqi authorities by United States Armed Forces (private mercenaries).  Hussein, a Sunni (legacy of Mohammed) Moslem, is surrounded by hostile Shi`ite (partisans of Ali) Moslems, who are chanting, “Moktada [al-Sadr (the militant Shi`ite cleric who is responsible for the death of many member of the United states Armed Forces (private mercenaries))]! Moktada! Moktada!”

       NOTE: Nearly four years after the Fall of Baghdad, and “Mission Accomplished,” the sentiments of Hussein’s executioners are with a terrorist and not the U.s. installed government indicates the Iraqi-American War has already been lost.

       Postscript: A week after the execution of Hussein it was clear that across the entire Arab world, from dictators down the commoners, from Morocco to Iraq, from Syria to the Sudan, anger against the U.S. had risen to new heights.
