The trial and sentencing of Saddam Hussein are over. The Iraqi judicial system has seen fit to punish Saddam and several other individuals. Several were sentenced to fifteen years in prison, while several others, including Saddam, were sentenced to death by hanging. Saddam insisted his death sentence should be carried out by firing squad, but this was refused. An automatic appeal now begins since he was sentenced to death.

I can’t help but think that this can only end badly for Iraq and US soldiers. Iraq seems to be on the verge of civil war as it is. If the sentence is carried out, it may plunge the region further into chaos.
