Poll Fault Insurance

So Hussein gets his verdict, so coincidentally timed to be in the news right before our elections. But it's worse than that, for as the Los Angeles Times reported today (no link, but I'm copying from the print paper at my elbow):

For many in Iraq, Hussein has ceased to be the mesmerizing patriarch who once towered over their nightmares and lives. Many interviewed Sunday and in recent months said they had laid him to rest long ago, more worried about the interecine violence racking the country.

So who was this trial for after all? Who was all of Iraq for?

And when you go vote tomorrow, because of course you vote, remember that the people currently in power in your country will do anything for politics. 2,800 American soldiers, 600,000 Iraqis. If those deaths mean keeping power, everything is ok to them.

You have to help stop them.
