If we really want to get technical, there hasn't been peace in the Middle East in THOUSANDS of years. And honestly, has there ever been a time in U.S. History where the Middle East hasn't had issues with us? And now it's mostly the fruit loop extremists in Iraq that have trouble with us.

As far as Saddam, I don't think that hanging him is going to do anymore damage than has already been done. But, I will say that they better have a pretty big fire going in that cauldron in hell to burn that man's ego.
