SAN FRANCISCO, Ca --- Saddam is dead. For GW Bush, "Mission Accomplished". The
executed Hussein tried to kill his father. Like a Greek Drama, it was always personal. It was personal AND international, all wrapped up in one violent package. GW Bush is alive, Saddam is dead. You try to kill an American former President, and you pay price. The clear message to terrorists: Mess with America and suffer the consequences.
Now, GW Bush will consider "redeployment", and demanding that the Iraq's police their own streets. They'll be a change in GW. Psychologically, he's done the task.
A democratically elected government authorized the execution, which "beheaded" the old Iraq. From here on out, it's just a clean up operation, hopefully, leaving the elected government to the task of growing a democracy and economy.
