First of all, i'm glad he's been caught.He should be now tried and hung.Nice and simple

.

Iraq is a much more complex problem.
Many Iraqies have welcomed the allies and the downfall of Saddam's regime. but that will not last long.Sooner rather than later the military presence of the allies will be resented.There have already been conflicts between civillians and troops.
Iraq will need a lot of help restoring itself.An opresive regime does not go away over night.It's not a matter of removing one man from power.In many cases the grass roots officials are much worse than their masters.Rounding these people up to face trail (not to mention setting up the judicial system to try them) will not be easy, but haveing an army in Iraq is the wrong way to go about it.
Advisers should be left in place to establish a efficient police force of Iraqui nationals and the great majority of the army should be brought home.
It's the difference between helping a country and occupying a country.
There should be democratic elections as soon as possible.At least then the common man can see that Iraquies have a say in the counries future rather than being dictated to by foreign powers.
Once a government is set up and working, these advisers should also be pulled out.
After that it will be enough to set up diplomatic relations.
