Probably the biggest event for both the US and Iraq was the death of Saddam Hussein: the dictator had been tried and convicted for war crimes and sentenced to die. The sentence was carried out on December 30, 2006.
Other important events from 2006: Chile got its first female president: Michelle Bachelet. Israel's prime minister Ariel Sharon suffered a massive stroke, and was replaced by Ehud Olmert. A Danish newspaper printed satirical Cartoons that insulted the Prophet Muhammad, leading to riots by angry Muslims all across Denmark and in other countries as well. At the Sago Mine in West Virginia, twelve miners died after a coal mine exploded; rescuers were unable to reach them in time. President Bush issued his first veto, refusing to expand federal funding for stem cell research. With growing displeasure about the War in Iraq and discontent over scandals in the Republican-led congress, the public turned out in the November mid-term elections and voted Democrats into power in both houses of congress. And in science news, the solar system was redefined and Pluto lost its status as a planet.
