What we "do" is put him on trial for multiple offenses (war crimes, crimes against humanity, mass murder, illegal possession and use of WMD, etc, etc, etc........)and then execute him if found guilty.
I am not too worried about him incriminating most of Europe in his crimes, even if true most would refuse to believe it. If the evidence presented so far don't convince you, nothing will.
How is this "success" as "bo" asked? Well, this should take the air out of the loyalists sails so to speak. They were no doubt hoping for a triumphant return of their leader and now that can't happen. I'm not saying that everything will be sunshine and roses from here on out, but this was a vital step in the rebuilding process. For a lot of Iraqis he WAS the "boogeyman" and now that he can be put on trial, it's a good thing for THEM.
The only people who think this isn't good hate Bush more than they hate true evil and that is pathetic. Some innocent people died in this campaign and that is unfortunate but it was never the goal and if we "pissed off the rest of the world", that's a small price to pay for protecting the security of our nation and even the ones we "piss off". 63 countries stood with us in this fight and the right thing was done.
There will always be people who don't see it this way and insist on comparing us with people like Hitler, but they are fundamentally wrong and quite frankly in my opinion a bit insane. Admittedly, I am rather "hawkish" in my approach and for those of you out there who believe that peaceful action is the only appropriate reaction, I guess we will just have to agree to disagree.
