A prediction

Stand back, I'm going to issue a prophecy.

If the Democrats win on Tuesday in either the House or the Senate the appeals panel which must review Saddam Hussein's death sentence will find some reason to overturn the sentence.

They will know that with the cut-and-run party in power in one or both of the houses of the American legislature that they will not be able to count on the US to continue backing up the Iraqi democracy. They will hedge their bets by keeping Saddam alive.
