What kills me is all the people who said "Saddam wouldn't go down without a fight to death" and so forth.

He has now been shown to be a huge coward, even his sons went down fighting. Hussein was hiding in a hole like a rat, like the vermin that he was.

Psychology and support are critical for guerrilla movements.

You notice how they stressed that he gave up without a fight. This is very important in the ME.

I think any analysis that concentrates purely on the response of the remaining Ba'athists and Jihadists has got the wrong end of the stick...it's the response of everybody else in Iraq that will be different now, starting with the former top officials of Saddam's government in American custody.
