The triumph of tribal vengeance: the hanging of Saddam was a dangerous mistake

In a statement issued after the execution of Saddam Hussein, President Bush said that bringing Saddam to justice "is an important milestone" of Iraq's evolution into a democracy and ally in the war on terror. As attacks in Iraq increase and the US military death toll continues past 3,000, however, one must wonder if Bush is seeking to distract us from the truth that Saddam's execution is extremely dangerous and more of a setback to national unity than anything else.
