What effect will Saddam's arrest have on the resistance? Several weeks ago I wrote that even if Saddam wascaptured and killed, the resistance would continue. There is no reason to change that view. In fact those whowere, till now, reluctant to back the resistance will now come out openly against the Occupation. Those in theUS and elsewhere who argued that the resistance was led by Saddam and the remnants of the old regime, will nowget a big shock. This week a peaceful mass uprising in Hilla removed a US-appointed Governor. The sloganchanted by the people was: "Free elections now!' Actions of this type are bound to increase.
