So they actually caught Saddam. When I think about that, I get an image of Preisdent Bush sitting in his oval office saying “Well, I’ll be damned, we actually caught him”.

Not that I didn’t want him to be caught, mind you. I just don’t think anyone actually expaected us to find him. I think this won’t do much for the US, but it’ll certainly help put the Iraqi people more at ease. And anything that helps our troops overseas is a good thing, in my opinion.

I don’t want people to misunderstand. I’m very glad Saddam has been caught. Hopefully the US has the sense to have him tried under Iraqi law. This will make him an enemy in the eyes of his own people and drastically reduces the image of martyrdom.

What irks me, though, is that Saddam no longer posed a threat to the US. That bastard bin Laden is still about and still making plans. I’m forced to wonder that if we put forth the same kind of effort into finding bin Laden, he might already be in custody.

We caught Saddam. Which is a good thing. However, we *NEED* to catch bin Laden.
