One year ago today Saddam Hussein was executed

A vile and evil man, Saddam Hussein al-Majid al-Tikriti, finally saw justice shortly after walking up the steps of a basement gallows in Baghdad on this day one year ago.

Iraq and the world is a better place.

At this time last year Iraq seemed headed into civil war. Thanks to General David Petraeus and "the Surge," the situation is significantly better now. So much so that even Osama bin Laden has taken notice.

And he's not happy about it.
