Saddam: Another dead tyrant, another excuse?

So Saddam Hussein has been executed.

Some are speculating that this may lead to a spike in violence in Iraq. But do the Sunni and the Shia really need this excuse to continue bombing each other to bits (along with our troops)?

Will George W. Bush use the execution to attempt to further justify the war in Iraq?

Does he even need to?

This morning, one of the local TV stations interviewed some people-on-the-street about Saddam's execution. More than one remarked that Saddam deserved to be executed because of 9/11. The reporter didn't bother to set the record straight.

Sigh.
