How is it anything more than a postscript to what's already happened? Maybe it will cause a temporary surge in violence, maybe not. Whether your for or against the death penalty, it doesn't change anything, especially since Iraqi law allows for it.
Unless this is the thing that unleases fullblown civil war, I honestly don't see it as that big of a deal. It was a forgone conclusion from the day they found him in the spider hole.
