Iraq is worse off today than under the rule of the tyrant Last Sunday (2006-11-05) an Iraqi court found Saddam Hussein guilty of crimes against humanity and sentenced him to death by hanging. This verdict was no big surprise. Neither was the date it was delivered, just a few days before the American midterm elections. George W. Bush was of course quick to call it a "landmark event in the history of Iraq" and "a milestone in the Iraqi people’s efforts to replace the rule of a tyrant with the rule of law". And yet, Iraq is worse off today than under the rule of the tyrant. It reminds me of the Byzantine emperor Phocas (602-610) and since the pope has made it fashionable to quote Byzantine emperors, let me tell you his story.
