So damn insane.

So we finally captured Saddam Hussein. But let's not fool ourselves into thinking that this solves anything: Psychological Victory for US?

Didn't we want this man dead? Didn't we try to bomb the hell out of him at the outset of the war? So what purpose does is serve for us to put him on trial now? Why didn't they just put a bullet through his head when they found him? As always, there's more to this story than what first meets the eye.

Are we really fooling ourselves into thinking this man is/was responsible for the current insurgency in Iraq? Will the inevitable 24/7 media coverage of his trial help restore the political infrastructure in that pitiful country? Who has the answers to these questions?

More later...
