It was jubilation amongst most of the Iraqi population today with the capture of Saddam Hussein.

It was becoming clear that a guerilla campaign may well have been what Saddam had been intending all along and that it would continue indefinitely whilst Saddam was on the loose. His capture means that Iraq is one step closer to the conclusion of this current hostility.

Saddam Hussein, as a right wing dictator, was not particularly good at the job American installed him to do all those years ago. Not only did he fail to conquer Iran but he couldn't even get rid of the Iraqi communist party who you see celebrating here. I believe they are currently living under the illusion that they may gain some sort of power in the new Iraqi government, which they stand a snow flakes chance in a Baghdad summer of doing whilst the USA continues to meddle Iraqi politics.
