See ya later, Alligator....
Just saw where Saddam Hussein will be executed no later than Saturday....tomorrow. Hopefully the thousands of Kurds he gassed in the 80's will be there to usher him off to hell.
This isn't a post about US foreign policy, it's simply a post about justice for those he oppressed. The guy even got an appeal, which was rightfully denied. That shows there are some good things coming for Iraq. A judicial system not based on Islamic Law (Sharia) but based on personal freedoms is fine with me.
Discuss.
1 rants:
Putting aside my personal belief that no truly civilized society can execute people (Saddam included), I was under the impression that the conviction for the Kurd gas attacks was to be only the first of many counts/charges to be tried against Saddam. If that's true (and it may not be), isn't this rush to the gallows before all the charges are resolved actually going to deny justice to his other victims? "The bastard's dead," will probably help, but wouldn't "and our new government has held him accountable for killing my family" be even better?
Regardless, as in the South Park movie, the world will be glad to be rid of him.
