Saddam Hussein

Saddam Hussein was finally caught, which is not surprising because he doesn't have the organized worldwide guerilla network that Osama Bin Laden has access to. Osama can be hiding anywhere, but Saddam was pretty much limited to the area around Tikrit. What's suprising is that it took so long.

There are some people who dislike George Bush who used the inability to capture Saddam as some sort of suggestion that Bush's Iraq policy was a big failure. If the election were this week, there is no doubt this would be a big boost for W, but by the time November 2004 rolls around, I'm sure there will be a more immediate issue on people's minds and this will be forgotten.
