The man was a known killer and torturer. And to all those bleeding heart Muslims complaining about the "timing" being so close to Eid; what about the month of Ramadan? AQ terrorists blow up other Muslims during this time of peace while the fawning MSM looks on...please, spare us the nonsense. Saddam is gone...it's a good thing, period.

But I fear there are enough accounts of his holding his head high, that it will be spun by his loyalists and jihadis, to inspire other ignorant fools to take up their sick ideology.

I think Saddam had it easy with such a swift execution. Certainly the non-Christian in me would not have minded seeing him suffer a thousand times over in this life before sending him off into the next. As <a href="https://www2.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11032459&postID=3785521682623358011" rel="nofollow">Freedom Eden</a> put it, in regards to those who felt this was an "eye for an eye" revenge thing: <blockquote>The execution of Saddam was not an eye for an eye. For that to be the case, Saddam would need hundreds of thousands of eyes.</blockquote> My concern is the timing of his execution, and his being allowed to go out with his dignity intact, and defiant and unremorseful. Certainly, you can't control how he faces death; but you don't want his supporters and the jihadists to see him staring down death like this. I don't mind killing anyone who wants to martyr themselves and wage jihad. But why exasperate a bad situation? If people want to answer the call to Jihad, let 'em go down to Somalia rather than be inspired by Saddam's call to martyrdom. The Ethiopians are doing a great job making a roach motel for the Islamists.

I feel a bit different then you about his death. His execution was retribution for the hundreds of thousands who he sent to their deaths. Every family member of his victims deserved to see it done. Now will his death make more martyrs? Who knows. But I do know that NOT making him pay for his crimes would not have prevented those who already hate the west from attacking us.<p> In the end his victims and their families deserved to see him die.</p>
