As an American and a Christian, I am sad at this execution. I wish there was a better way to end this evil without acting so barbaric. Yes, Saddam's regime was wicked. But, a hanging death like this is a sad commentary on man.

I'm fine with it just so long as he wasn't Crucified.

Barbarism defines humanity. That's the reason why Jesus is THE reason for the season! Regrettably sometimes barbarism requires a response in kind to maintain a world balance. I hope they used a piano wire in place of a rope. You ever see the aftermath of a nerve gas attack? I saw the pix of the attack Saddam ordered against the Kurds. Horrific just doesn't quite do it justice. I hope they looped a piano wire around his neck and made him stand on a block of ice until it melted to the point his own body weight caused the wire to accomplish decapitation.

Yeah. Folks really should give some thought to the depths of the depravity of this fiend.

Torturing children in the presence of their parents. Torturing parents in the presence of their children. Family members' heads delivered in bags. People killed in wood chippers. On and on and on the stories go...
