I gleefully greet the news of Saddam’s capture. I had hoped they would capture him dead, but this was my second choice. My fear is, now that we’ve got him, what do we do with him? Maybe we can get some intelligence from him. Maybe we can uncover the links between Saddam and Mohammed Atta. I thought Saddam looked pitiful on the TV. He looked exactly like the rat that he is.
I don’t think this will reduce the attacks in the short term, but it will in the long term. Those people that had been wavering as to which side to support now know there is no future on Saddam’s side. In the short term, those individuals that were fighting for the return of Saddam now know their cause is lost. Their problem is they now realize the road they are on leads to a very dead end. When people have no hope, sometimes they do some very irrational things. I would expect more suicide attacks. The insurgents have always been dead men walking, but now they know it.
