• Wise After All

In the weeks preceding the US attack on Iraq to remove Saddam Hussein from power, Pres Bush asserted that "a new regime in Iraq would serve as a dramatic and inspiring example of freedom for other nations in the world." Chace claims that if presidential candidate John Kerry intends to challenge the democratic imperialism of Pres Bush, he would do well to reflect on the history and resurrect the wisdom by the "wise men," who came to the fore during the Second World War and were realists who understood that unilateral power had its limits.

• Body of Saddam Hussein Buried in His Home Village of Auja, Iraq: ; Simplicity of Burial in Sharp Contrast with Dictator's Life, Aspirations

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein was brought to his home village early Sunday morning in a simple wood coffin for burial, less than 24 hours after his execution. A few hundred mourners paid their respects in the predawn darkness for a man who led their nation over three decades of fear, brutality and war. The execution of Saddam was a cowardly act," said Hameed Salman al-Majeed, one of Saddam's cousins, as he greeted mourners next to Hussein's temporary grave dug into a marble-floored social center in Auja, 120 miles north of Baghdad.

Nearly 32,000 American troops have been wounded on the battlefield of Iraq. And yet this is the news that greeted America this spring: "Syria and Iraq eager for cooperation with Iran in building joint gas pipeline.

• Saddam Hussein Verdict: ; Former Iraq Leader's Execution May Do Little to Quell Violence

AMMAN, Jordan - The future of Iraq may depend little on whether Saddam Hussein hangs. The Sunni insurgency is so deeply entrenched and sectarian bloodlust so strong that Iraq seems set to continue spiraling into violence - regardless of its former president's fate. Some fear that the Saddam verdict, by angering the Sunni minority, could intensify the violence once a curfew in Baghdad is lifted. Others say they hope the verdict gives Iraqis a chance "to unite and build a better future," in the words of the U.S. Ambassador to Iraq, Zalmay Khalilzad.
