Saddam Hussein died at the end of a rope.
He was once proud and cared little for the common people. This may be true of some of our leaders as well.
Of course Saddam was deserving of his fate.
Yet, I have some difficulty with binding a man and killing him. It touches something deep inside that sees no honor in such a death.
Perhaps that was the point.
Still, now that he has claimed his martyrdom, it is honor backfired.
Dynasties rise and then they fall.
Have we accomplished anything wonderful amidst all of the bloodshed and torture?
I hope so. It is time for the Iraqis to play their own hand and time for us to stop stacking the deck.
May 2007 bring peace.
