"They only blew it if you believe (as the Americans believe) they they should imitate a model of impartial justice."

Yes, I believe as other Americans believe that Iraqis should behave justly when carrying out the orders of the court. In fact, I think it is a little egotistical of Americans to assume that others do not know injustice when they see it. It was a just decision to eliminate Saddam from society, his executioners however, did not behave in a just matter in carrying out their duties. You don't have to be an American to get that.

"The Iraqis clearly don't believe it. "

That, of course, depends on which Iraqis you are talking about. The execution did not look like the win for society that it should have; it looked more like a tougher group of thugs are now celebrating their take over. The opportunity to demonstrate a new order of civility is now lost, and I for one am saddened by it.
