BBC NEWS | Middle East | Saddam Hussein executed in Iraq

Saddam Hussein is a name I have heard my entire life. I can’t pick out any one thing that it brings to mind any more than any other, but… It’s a pretty big, involved sub-plot type story in my life coming to an end.

A while back I posted this article my hubby sent me.

Someone commented today that Bush should have been hanged right along side him, also for war crimes. I had this to say:
I absolutely think GWB needs to stand trial as well, fair trial (is there really such a thing?) and have his actions examined.

Why are we in Iraq and not Iran? Why are we wasting time setting up a democracy in another country when ours is falling apart?

I have no problem with capitol punishment when it’s deserved. I don’t think it should be doled out willy-nilly, but I think if it’s deserved, then it’s deserved. I don’t know if I am the person to decide that (probably not) but there are so few jobs that have such an amazing impact on so many people… we really ought to be careful about who gets them, who keeps them, and how they were put there in the first place.

So I don’t have anything good or bad to say about this hanging. I think it was fair and just.
