Pi delurking here. I was about to logout last night when I decided to check one of the news sites, which is not a typical behaviour for me. This is how i found out that Saddam has been arrested. You think I'm developing some kind of psychic connection with the Network? Heh.

Anyway, first thing I thought was: Okay, next the pundits will say that this is the America's best X-mas gift to the world.

Cynical binsoup. That's me.

All indications are that this may well be the case, Pi... Stock markets have shot up and SH will be accorded the POW rights as set out in the Geneva Convention... and what of the "terrorists" in Cuban limbo who have no rights? Somebody once said the first casulty of war is "truth".

Merry Christmas everyone... but will this bring peace or will the smoke screen become a dense cloud through which nothing is real... I think I'll go hug a tree and swat a few mosquitoes.

A very useful article in light of recent and past events:

Saddam Hussein's capture will not resolve Iraqi quagmire.
