European Press Review: Saddam Captured, but Iraqi Problems Still Persist

Reacting to the news of Saddam Hussein's capture, newspapers across Western Europe see both hope and continued difficulties ahead. This review of press commentary in Germany, France, the UK, and Spain highlights the problematic future for Iraq and the US. The British Guardian emphasizes the opportunity to hear Saddam's testimony and hopefully settle questions about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program and support for terrorists. In a more generally positive tone, Germany's Bild Zeitung praised the American-led operation that found Hussein and declares it a victory for the War on Terror and a vindication of US President George W. Bush's efforts to rid the world of terrorists. – YaleGlobal
