Sammy to dance

Saddam’s death sentence (he’ll dance on a rope for mass murder) ought to be a big story this weekend, says the incomparable Mark Steyn, but "in these fevered days before this week’s US elections, the media are too busy insisting the Republicans are doomed to notice stories that underline how important the Iraq invasion was."

Mohammed at Iraq the Model tells Pajamas Media: "This is a day not only for Iraqis but a historic day for the whole region; today new basis for dealing between rulers and peoples are found. No one is above the law anymore."

But as John of Powerline notes, there’ll be at least a year of appeals before Sammy swings. 

As for the elections, scifi writer Orson Scott Card, writes of why he and other Democrats will vote Republican:"There is only one issue in this election that will matter five or ten years from now, and that’s the War on Terror."
