More Good News From Iraq

After final summations for all defendants, the court is expected to adjourn and consider a verdict, which is likely in mid-August. Saddam is due to stand trial Aug. 21 in the crackdown against the Kurds in the 1980s, in which an estimated 100,000 of them died.

The first Saddam trial, with all its theatrics in the court and violence against participants outside, is nearing a close. Next up, the biggie: the Kurdistan deaths. That trial will put evilness on a grand scale on trial, for apologists, anti-Americans and various other nuts to ignore and the rest of the world to see.

Then, hopefully, blessedly, a well-deserved execution.
