Hung by the neck until dead.

Okay, but is it over? No, not by a long shot. What would be interesting is to see whether the US government was really against the execution and the Iraqis followed through anyway...if so, I say good for them and that fact might go a long way towards future stability. Otherwise, I expect some short-term increase in violence and then back to "normal". I personally hope this brings closure to those who need it.
