Hussein Hanged
According to news reports, Saddam Hussein has been hanged in Baghdad, by
Iraqis. He richly deserved this punishment, one he had doled out to
many thousands who deserved it not. The fools at Amnesty International
(some decades ago, a respectable organisation) stated, The rushed
execution of Saddam Hussein is simply wrong. It signifies justice
denied for countless victims who endured unspeakable suffering during
his regime, and now have been denied their right to see justice
served.
How wrong can they be? Justice has most definitely been
served: Hussein’s heart beats no more. The man who had men fed
into grinders dangled at the end of a rope.
One can only hope that his end is a beginning for Iraq. The old order is done away with; let the new order take its place. For my own part, I’m rather more pessimistic than that—still, I can hope.
