The capture of Saddam Hussein (assuming that he is saddam and not a
double or a plant) is a great morale boost for the US and assorted
allies in Iraq. Wonder what effect, if any, it will have on continued
resistance in Iraq.

Very little. Saddam was not "leading" the resistance in any way, he was
continuously on the run and hide and likely kept his contacts minimal. (in
fact, pretty much nobody is leading Iraqi resistance, which is both curse
and blessing).

Back in 1869 my family went to South Carolina to enforce the thirteenth
amandment. Most of the major slave holders in the US lived there and
although the slaves had heard of the Emancipation Proclimation, the
Thirteenth Amenedment and Reconstruction, basicly nothing had changed in
their lives. It was not until Tarvers put the Master in a tree, that the
People knew that they were free. (and his sons with him, should he resist)
