In Hussein's Capture, World Pundits See New Chance for Iraq
The capture of Saddam Hussein is being greeted with near universal satisfaction in the international online media.

For more observers in the Arab world, it offers the United States a chance to salvage its failing occupation of Iraq.

Few doubt the Iraqi insurgency will go away. But even fewer doubt that, in the words of The Guardian in London, for President Bush, "Christmas came early."
"Axis of evil dictators should know this is the end point of the defiance of US power," declare the editors of The Australian, a national daily newspaper launched in 1964 by an aspiring businessman

1. Resistance is Futile
The greater success America has in carrying out it's PNAC plan for world domination, the more horrified the rest of the world will be, and offer ever-greater resistance.

Eventually, the American voter will grow tired of all the death and destruction and vote the PNACers out. (Assuming we still have a democracy.)
