Excellent. Now for the celebratory drink and a phone call to Cousin Luci to chat about the new arrival.
I hardly doubt this changes anything.I'm not really sure what to say. The world is a much better place without him.
Don't worry. Given how things are these days, it'll probably be up on YouTube within 24 hours.I missed the execution? Why no warning? What were his last words? I mean come on, what a lousy execution!
I don't know what it is, because I supported the death penalty for Saddam, but somehow this all just feels wrong.
Maybe it's the speed. In the US we take years to do this sort of thing, but the Iraqi's aren't wasting any time.I don't know what it is, because I supported the death penalty for Saddam, but somehow this all just feels wrong.
Saddam meets justice at last: Good. Now that we've meted out human justice, he get's to go explain his actions to God - I have a sneaking suspicion that Saddam's in for quite an eternity in hell. Perhaps it's not very Christian of me to not find that terribly sad, but somehow I'm not at all sad that Saddam is most likely going to hell.
Why? His crimes were against Iraqis. He was tried by Iraqis in an Iraqi court under Iraqi law and exacuted by Iraqis. If it went the UN he'd of never been exacuted.
1. Trial was laughable to Democractic Standards
2. Saddam should have been tried in an International Court so a degree of ligitamacy could have been achieved in the Judicial Process
(Iran-Iraq)
4. Democratic American's support undemocratic Execution
5. Saddam is tried for one crime amongst a multitude
6. Capital Punishment; not widely accepted in most Democratic countries.
7. American government keeps quiet, acts as if it had no part in this:
Saddam tries to assassinate Bush Sr.
Saddam threatens Western Oil Supply
Saddam invades Kuwait
U.S. invades Iraq
