If you haven’t seen the video of the sentencing, you should. It shows a court, and a judge, both setup by the new government in Iraq, passing sentence on the madman who has embroiled this nation into a deeply divisive and deadly war. Click the pic to see the video.

The war in Iraq is not over, and we will likely be there for some time to come, regardless of what happens on Tuesday. But this is a huge step forward for the Iraqi nation.
