Here's hoping
A desperate disease requires a dangerous remedy.

A major source of objection to a free economy is precisely that it gives people what they want instead of what a particular group thinks they ought to want. Underlying most arguments against the free market is a lack of belief in freedom itself.

No it won't. This might possibly calm some of the opposition to the war in Britain and America, but I don't see any reason why the resistance fighters in Iraq would give up. They're not fighting to get Saddam back in power, they're fighting against the American occupation. Well, actually, some of the resistance fighters may have been Baathist socialists, but I certainly don't think that they constitute a significant majority of the opposition. The other cells that are said to have joined the resistance, (Al Quaeda, Iranian revolutionaries, Syrian fighters) have never supported Hussein in the past, and though they might be temporarily unified now, there's no reason to think that they will give up arms now.

One thing that does puzzle me though is how Hussein gave up without a fight.. I would certainly have imagined that he would have gone down in a blaze of fire; his co-operation was surprising! Perhaps he's clever and realises that if he is executed by the Americans he will made a martyr and will gain more support in death than he ever did alive.. Or perhaps he's just a tired, broken old man.

If he was clever, he would have gone down in a blaze of glory. He told people to fight to their death, but he didn't even reach for his pistol. Hopefully this will hurt the morale of some of the opposition.

I didn't say it would end the resistance, and I may have even misspoken when I said it would go a long way, but I do think it'll make a noticeable difference. It doesn't seem likely to me that Hussein was just sitting on his hands while all this was going on. He probably wasn't responsible for even a majority of the insurgent activity, but he had to have been making some active effort to disrupt the U.S. occupation.

This is great news. Heard it on the radio on my way back from church. I don't believe he just gave up like that. There's gotta be more...Then again, maybe that's really it.
