The Hanging Of Saddam Hussein
Major Update: It is done – good riddance Saddam. May you face in death the millions of people you brutally murdered over your pathetic lifetime. Some thoughts. Saddam’s passing will lift a cloud from Iraq and its new government and give the democratic government some serious street credibility. The liberal left has taken a huge hit if watching CNN and Alan Colmes on Fox is any indication. Colmes was obsessed with the idea Saddam would be a hero to some. I guess he just missed all the holocaust denials and those who, to this day, praise and pray for the return of Hitler and Stalin. Sad, but these pathetic humans do exist. And Peter Arnaut was on CNN claiming Saddam was senile and the only reason we took Iraq was his sons did not have his military genius. America is going to be watching the Democrats – and if the liberal media is any indication there is a good chance they will blow this. Saddam’s shadow was felt here in the US most of my life – and all of my adult life. His passing was also felt a half a world away here in the US. One can only imagine the power of the impact in Iraq.
Update: Keep an eye on the reporting from Iraq by Iraq The Model as event unfold with Saddam’s hanging. – end update
All I have to say on the matter is good riddence, and the world is a much better place. But I will explain why I have no pity for Hussein. He had no pity for anyone else. No one should forget how he came to power – as a murderous thug. His ascendecy over Iraq began with a staged-crafted purge of his political enemies:
He knew when to kill his enemies and when to compromise them. In the purge that followed Saddam’s final assumption of the presidency, for example, ranking members of government were arrested not in secrecy, but at public meetings. And then their colleagues — ministers and party leaders — were ordered to make up the firing squads. They were made part of the terror.
If you have ever seen the video of this act it is chilling to the bone. Purging his enemies was a special gift of Saddam’s. He started two major wars with Iran and Kuwait resulting in the deaths of millions. But his signature atrocity against humanity was the gassing of his own people. I find myself feeling less for this animal than I would an actual animal dying. The man was brutal, insane and dangerous. It was only a matter of time before he was able to obtain the WMDs he needed to ravage this world. While the lefties will defend Saddam as a saint before crediting Bush with removing one of history’s most evil figures, that just illustrates how deranged the left is in this country. They see Bush as worst than Saddam. Thankfully that warped view of reality is held only by a petty minority. Anyone who opines for Saddam is crazy or sick. The rape rooms and children’s torture chambers are closed, as are the mass graves of his victims. The world is a much better place now.
Update: The best I have seen on this matter in the Blogosphere is, not surprisingly, by Rick Moran. As usual he and I see things very much the same way. He just says it better.
Never “supported” fragging, dearest Barbee but you would drive the troops to it then complain about its occurence.

Wench has several meanings, some kinda playful–but you’re a semiliterate Neanderthal, so don’t bother checking a dictionary.
For Enforcement–go on insulting the troops and their handlers as being incompetent dolts for allowing the “liberal” pollsters access to them.
Barbeen-the poll was taken by Military Times in co-operation with the military. Now what saps your esteemed troops would be, and their officers, if they
allowed themselves to be suckered by a “liberal†pollster. So it’s your choice, doll, disenchanted or saps.
Ken
What was that planet you came from again?
The Military Times have nothing, not a thing, to do with the actual military. Where did you ever get a stupid idea like that? The Military times is a privately owned newspaper owned by the Gannet Corporation as you have been told before.
I have noticed you seem to skim through other people’s posts and fail to grasp their meaning totally and then post your version as if that is what they said. You really should get a grip, slow down and stop seeing everything from your point of view.
Bikerken believes third world Saddam could have
risen to the level of 1930s Germany. What an insult, not to the Germans but to the occasional intelligence on this site. Bikerken-they’ve got pills for paranoia.
Ken
You evidently know nothing about world history. If you research Germany after WWI and when Hitler came into power in the early 30s you will see that Germany was almost bankrupt. But then the whole world was in the Depression. Saddam, on the other hand had quite a lot of money, especially from the oil-for-food scandal you libs overlook and hope will go away. He also had an overwhelming amount of arms all over the country. So, there is a difference between Saddam and Hitler. Saddam was a whole lot further along than Hitler was economically.
Ken,
You are outta here for being immature and doing nothing but insulting people. Later.
Ken, you and your broom fly back to Oz?
Still having a comprehension problem I see.
Thanks AJ, I’m so d*** tired of being insulted by him on everything I write. I’ll try to be very civel to everyone else. FE
Correction… civil

Ken
You most certainly did.
FE,
I was sick of reading his ‘comments’.
