Iraqis generally celebrated, indoors because of a curfew, and those who might have opposed the trial or felt sorry for the old dictator, they kept pretty quiet about it. Iran was openly jubilant at both the verdict and death sentence. Leaders of countries involved in the invasion that overthrew Saddam said the successful end of the trial was a justification for the war. Opponents of the death penalty argued strongly against the sentence. There is, however, an important effect of the trial of Saddam Hussein that should unite justice loving people worldwide. Saddam is the first dictator to face a credible trial instigated, run and concluded by his own country. This occurred despite the obvious danger of revenge over justice, and the possibility that farce would triumph over gravity. In the midst of a war, at a time when institutions were barely getting back on their feet after a generation of dictatorship and arbitrary violence, Iraq conducted a solid, legitimate trial of its old and detested master.2006-11-12T20:13+0100BangkokPostenBangkokPost-4d8540ddc1d80001cd25d780f37f6268IraqCrisisConflictSecurityTerroristAttackhttp://bangkokpost.net/News/13Nov2006_news06.phpFLOODS Torrential downpours expected to lash South Flood response agencies have stepped up surveillance operations in the southern provinces after the Meteorological Department warned of torrential rains from Surat Thani downwards.

The failure occurred in the new voting technology. As a result, polls were stopped at some voting stations in Indiana, Ohio and Florida. Voting was continued later without using computers. Voters had to use paper ballots, which led to slower counting. About 200 million Americans voters were to reelect all the 435 members of the House of Representatives, a third of the 100 members of the Senate and 36 of 50 state governors. The Republicans are in control of both the chambers now. Moreover, the lower chamber – the House of Representatives – had been under control of the Republicans for 12 years. The Democrats need to pick up 15 seats more and 6 net seats in the Senate to wrest power from the Republicans. Polls have shown that the Democrats have a chance to have control over both the Congress chambers for the first time in 6 years of George Bush's presidency. 51% of US citizens want Dems to win, with only 45% willing the Republicans' victory. Analysts call the mid-terms a trust referendum to the Republicans, mainly because the Democrats focused on voters' anger over the Iraq war during their campaign, RBC reports.

The Darling River rises in southeastern Queensland and flows down through western NSW, joining the Murray River at Wentworth, where it accounts for 12per cent of the Murray's flow. The Murray rises in the Snowy Mountains, and flows down the border between NSW and Victoria to the mouth south of Adelaide. The Darling is fed by summer rain, the Murray by winter and spring rain. Their combined average annual inflow is about 24,000 gigalitres; average annual flow to the sea is 13,000GL; average water used is 11,576GL; annual evaporation is 1430GL; 6970GL is lost on the flood plain and leaks to groundwater.
