Anniversary of Saddam's Execution

Saddam is dead, the people rejoice! I'm sure this is what Fox News is reporting. However, the reality is that Saddam's tomb in Aouja has become a Sunni place of veneration as this photo from L'Orient-Le Jour shows...children and tribal leaders recite verses from the Koran.

In the Sunni neighborhood of Adhamiyah in Baghdad, portraits of Saddam were plastered on every residence and shop.

However, there was a celebration, as one might expect, in Shi'a-controlled Najaf.
