Saddam Hussein struggled briefly after American military guards handed him over to Iraqi executioners. But as his final moments approached, he grew calm.
He clutched a Quran as he was led to the gallows, and in one final moment of defiance, refused to have a hood pulled over his head before facing the same fate he was accused of inflicting on countless thousands during a quarter-century of ruthless power.
I doubt there are very many who will mourn the death of this brutal dictator, but the question is how will this effect the violence in Iraq? Will it make it lessen over time, or just make it worse?
