#2 The real question is whether the Iraqi govt hangs him or flinches at the last minute to avoid antagonizing the Sunnis.

#3 Spot-on, tt. The entire re-entry into the game by the Sunnis, despite having voluntarily opposed it and boycotting, is a mistake. The Sunnies are apparently centuries behind the Shi'a - who are centuries behind the Kurds. They can break and / or mangle the system if the Shi'a allow them - and it certainly appears they haven't the stones to stand up to them. Cowed too long? I dunno, but there are troubling signs, IMHO.

#5 The problem with leaving him alive is that ~~terrorists~~ minutemen and patriots will take hostages and demand his release. Even if we don't blink, that means more dead hostages.

#6 No, no, we have to keep him alive until 2008 so the Democrats can nominate him.
