Saddam Hussein sentenced to death by hanging

Most of Iraq was in lockdown in anticipation of more violence from insurgent groups and Saddam supporters.

Clashes immediately broke out Sunday in north Baghdad's heavily Sunni Azamiyah district, and a Sunni political leader condemned the court decision.

So. it isn't over. Where does this take us? what does it accomplish? will there be peace now? Can the troops go home now? No...of course not.
