What will happen next?

In the sentencing of Saddam Hussein many are celebrating for his death sentence verdict. Saddam and two of his other high rank members are to be hanged within 30 days. Other lower level officers that work with Saddam Hussein have been sentenced 15 years in prison. Saddam still demonstrated his power and shouted when he was taken out “Long live the people!” and “God is Greater”!
How can he chant words after all the evil he has caused? He has killed many people without a fair trial. So who are those that are saying that the special tribunal must demonstrate Saddam had a fair trial? Why do they want to make sure he has a fair trial, what about all those innocent people he killed in a Shia village? Why are we not questioning Saddam where were the fair trials for them?
Those of the Sunni areas are angry to hear his death sentence demonstrating in streets, well what about those who were murdered by Saddam Hussein? I guess hatred of a different religious sects of Islam can have a person agree with everything a ruler does in order to make his kind of people, like the Sunnis powerful.
In my opinion, I feel that with so many Shias celebrating and Sunnis demonstrating anger towards the sentence will cause civil wars between this two religious groups. To prove that their race will not give in to the new Iraq government becoming democratic. Instead we will see more and more violence, as they have started to put curfews, and many other restrictions on Iraq citizens.
I do not think this will improve what Bush is trying to do or Iraq government in becoming democratic. It will also establish people or terrorists attack against those of the Shia religion supporting democracy. Although, I do agree with the decision made from the Special Tribunal of Iraq that Saddam Hussein should be hanged.
