I'm thankful and glad, in a sense.

Scripture clearly exhorts against rejoicing at an enemy's fall--less God notice and relent in HIS punishmen. I'd rather God deliver the full punishment rather than mute it over my attitude--in any such situation. Not that my attitude would likely matter that much in this situation. But the principle is important to God in all our Spiritual lives.

But not gleeful.

Hell is a frightful place regardless of how deserved.

And, there, but for the grace of God, go I.

Humility is wise in such situations.

I don't know about glee, but I'm qualifed to speak for the segment of humanity experiencing a sort of giddy relief that the bloody so-and-so is no longer insulting life and peace, his victims and their surviving families by his continued existence.

I'm not sorry he's gone. However, we should all be sorry that individuals like him make executions necessary.

Well stated.

This is not a time to be gleeful. Justice needed to be served, and it has been.

I just hope the souls of the hundreds of thousands of Iraqis and Kurds murdered by his hand can finally know some peace.
