The capture of Saddam Hussein

The dramatic news of Saddam Hussein's capture provides a faint glimmer
of hope that peace and security may someday be possible in a country
that has seen little of either.

After decades of oppression, war, and deprivation, the long-suffering
people of Iraq will finally see their brutal dictator brought to
justice. For their sake, and for the sake of American servicepeople in
Iraq, we hope that Saddam's capture will hasten the end of hostilities
in that country. While the chance of a democratic government in Iraq
still seems remote, perhaps this news will help make it possible.

We opposed the invasion of Iraq, which did nothing to improve the
security of the American people, and caused incalculable damage to our
reputation abroad. The capture of Saddam does not make an unwise war
wise, it does not make an illegal war legal, and it does not make an
utter failure of American foreign policy into a success.

The current Administration has botched nearly everything it's touched
these last three years. Saddam's capture provides them with a fresh
opportunity to get our foreign policy back on track. Let's hope they
don't botch this too.
