The most disturbing thing about the Saddam hanging is the "Muqtada" chants you hear from the guards. (See here, provided you aren't queasy.) Sayyed Mugtada al-Sadr is, of course, the young Shi'ite leader of the Mahdi Army, which, from what I'm told, now causes our troops more grief than the Sunnis (mostly because it is directly supplied by the Iranians). The chants mean the Iraqi military and police are thoroughly compromised by the militias. Nothing new, for sure, but just graphic proof.
There's no hope for a continued unified Iraq under such a situation.
