Saddam Hanged!

Iraqi television station Al Hurra says Saddam Hussein has been executed by hanging
shortly before 6 a.m. (0300 GMT) on Saturday.



He was yet to be tried for his murder of 180,000 Kurds. Some lament this fact and say they were not properly avenged. I say, his execution is for 'all' those whom he slaughtered. As far as I am concerned he will not escape punishment before God for all of his crimes! That's good enough for me.

We can now look to see if this sets the world on fire as some have speculated or if this will begin the healing process. Only time will tell.

One thing we can be sure of is that Dictators around the world have learned a lesson that says, " If you kill your own people, and you rape your own people, and you torture your own people, and if you enslave your own people you will be safe! Even mass genocide is acceptable. However, if you branch out and threaten other nations you might get overthrown and executed like Saddam!"

I don't think this is the best message we could be sending, but until we grow enough backbone to do what is right.....we will have to settle for justice one madman at a time!

Clutching a Quran and refusing a hood, Saddam Hussein went to the gallows before sunrise Saturday...
