The world has been informed that Saddam Hussein has been hung by the neck until dead.Is the world a better place for the conducting of one more barbaric act of killing?
To some the answer is obviously yes... Brutality is wholly justified for the brutal.
Brutality is still brutality be it justifiable or not.
Lest we recognize the simple fact that brutality is still brutality be it justifiable or not, our own brutality and our suffering the brutality of others will never end, no matter how many dictators we support and then hang.
It will just go on and on....until we can choose not to support savagery when it suits us and meet savagery with savagery when it does not.
A great teacher once said "Love your enemies"
He was even willing to die for his.
America trades crime for crime with our enemies and then we dare to ask for this teachers blessings upon us.
How utterly disrespectful is that?
You do not destroy an idea by killing people; you replace it with a better one.

Heads up for Hennessey Fans.
If you would like to further elaborate on the comments made there, that accompany the link to my blog...Feel Free. I will be happy to promptly delete anything you may have to say of a similar psychotic nature.
Please relay my regards and deepest sympathy to Hennessey for having lost all contact with his/her Soul and Humanity.

And they should have this desire to take revenge on America. We came in there and destroyed their infrastructure. We tore apart the lives of innocent people. We can sit here and justify it all day but it is just plain wrong and that is why we have to justify it.
Same goes for Saddam. This was just another brutal killing by a brutal America. Great post.

They also were in an awful hurry to kill him, now many facts about his crimes will never be uncovered. But that was the whole point of that hurry, wasn't it don't you think?

Greetings Kevin and Max,
As I have said before, the only thing that could possibly make all the lives lost on all sides worthwhile is if in the end we can learn at long last that meeting violence with violence will never create peace but only ever more increasing and cruel means of violence.
If all of these deaths could lead us there...then none of them would have died in vain.
Peace y'all

So when are they going to hang those other war criminals?
George Bush, the butcher of Baghdad.
Bill Clinton, the Butcher of Belgrade
Tony Blair, the butcher of both.
