Why Do the Worst Things Always Happen to the Best People?

I fervently hope that Saddam Hussein is indeed fit enough to stand trial for his crimes. It's all too rare that history's genocidal maniacs are charged and punished for the full roster of their sins, and his show trial may be a pivotal element in Iraq's ultimate success and unification.

* A trial gives the government the air of authority

* A trial unifies various Iraqi factions

* A trial distracts the bloodsucking newsies from the tenuous security situation, and in effect buys time for Iraqi authorities that are trying to eliminate the terrorists before the US electorate runs out of patience and yanks the rug.

So hoist a glass to Saddam Hussein's good health and pray that the stroke rumor proves to be false. We need him rosy cheeked and all sexed-up for his date with a noose.

UPDATE: Nothing to see here, people. Move along.
