Let's not feed the flames of terrorism!...Executing Saddam Hussein will immediately elevate him to martyrdom status in the eyes of extremists and bring renewed vigor to those groups working to destabilize Iraq. It should be crystal clear that a solution in Iraq favorable to the West is presently nowhere in sight. Rather than stoke the flames of terrorism, we should seriously consider turning Saddam Hussein lose to resolve the mess. As objectionable as his methods of governance may be, we ought to be able to agree that a stable Iraq is in every one's best interest. This is not to be misconstrued as an argument to free Saddam Hussein, but rather a potential solution to the intractable challenge we face in Iraq. Rejecting this idea on moral grounds is baseless when an infinitely more brutal regime is bludgeoning its own in Somalia. Saddam Hussein IS a thug, but perhaps that is exactly what is required to stabilize such a disparate country as Iraq.
