Well, it happened, Hussein is dead. Executed by hanging. I have mixed emotions on the subject. First of all, I was shouting for joy when the man was removed from power (though I never quite got to the extreme of Iraqis, it is not smart to shoot guns straight upWink) However, I am strongly opposed to the use of the death penalty (and a Conservative too! The ideas mix, really!)
When I found out about Saddam's death, I prayed, I prayed for the man's eternal soul, I prayed God would have mercy on him. Then I found myself thinking, what kind of a man am I to be praying for a ruthless, murdering dictator? Then I realized, I am a Christian, a real Christian, and I knew, for the first time in my life, what it meant to truly do what Jesus said, and love my enemy. The world is probably better off without him, but I think as God truly works in mysterious ways, Saddam taught my a valuable lesson, bet that would piss him off.
Big smile
 
Anyway, just wanted to share that, sorry for the personal story in there, but the real news is Saddam Hussein was executed, so there.

Amen to that.
Mixed emotions here as well. I will offer an Iron Maiden song to Saddam: Hallowed be Thy Name.

Not only that, but I believe Iraq will be easier to handle-at least a little. Once people realize, holy crap, the last dictator is power is DEAD, not just in a minor setback, but DEAD, some of the radical Imams will probably not be as keen on being the next power hungry, maniac dictator

Unspeakably horrible things that no one should ever have to go through...maybe worse, I don't know. Probably not playing with any of the Saints, that's for sure
