2713, Good news....with reservations

This is a good thing for a couple of reasons. Saddam's capture will certainly serve as a boost for the morale of the American/British troups (I know 95% of ya'll on here could care less about this, but it's true). Moreover, for a large segment of Iraq's populace this will quell the fear that Saddam and his henchman still have a grip on the insurgency movement.

That said, with stories like this, I remained concerned about this developing into another "Vietnam":

The general public needs to be aware that this occupation is FAR from over.
