Carl, I fear you are right. The Sh'ias in the south, who comprise 60% of Iraq's population, probably see this as a win-win. Saddam is never coming back, and the Sunni resistance will likely decline. "Iraq" is a British imperial construct, as is the other Heshimite kingdom, Jordan. Like much of the political geography of Africa, it's borders have little to do with terrain or ethnicity.

But for one day, I'm glad to see Saddam pulled from his rat hole.
