Saddam

Paul, for me it’s about coming face to face with our government’s (and our tax dollars) funded activities. I feel disgusted by this execution – in part because it’s just another failure of George Bush to see the difference between justice and injustice, democracy and chaos. Whatever you think of Sadaam, he faced hanging bravely – and the hooded masks of the executioners made them look like cowards. All in all – I see this whole event as another failure of U.S. imperialism. Good for Haliburton and none of us.

Warning – it’s dramatic and graphic.

I don’t see this as a victory. Admittedly, this man was a horrible monster. His sons were low-rent criminals. But, I think we could raise the bar a little and maybe show we’re more civilized.
I don’t feel bad that he’s gone. But. I feel bad.

As an American I take no satisfaction in the execution of someone who didn’t receive a fair trial.
