The Death of a Dictator edition:
- Saddam: The death of a dictator - Juan Cole writes that the execution of Saddam Hussein was driven by revenge and will make Saddam a martyr to his people.
- Obituary: Saddam Hussein - Obituaries are generally warm, yet objective biography of a person and his/her life’s work. The Guardian’s obit? Not so much.
- “This is the man who tried to kill my dad.”- After the celebrations and macho posturing after Saddam’s capture in 2003, the NYTimes observes that reaction from The White House (or the Crawford Ranch) is surprisingly muted.
