The man we once knew as Saddam Hussein is no more......now what?
I know Hussein was a bad man, maybe even evil but I can't feel good about his death or the way he died. Although, I hope the people most affected by Saddams vicious reign find some solace in his demise, I cannot join them. To be honest, when I heard the news last night I was filled with a sense of dread. We are living in trying times and the implication of a man being put to death as a result of our waging war with no provocation and phantom WMD's leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I do believe the world is safer and justice was carried out but I wish American fingerprints were not all over this verdict and Hussein's death. I will say this, I appreciate the swiftness with which the court saw about the carrying out of its verdict.
Now will someone please point us in the direction of Osama Bin Laden? If anyone out there still remembers.....he's the person we were looking for when we found Hussein. I yearn to awaken to the news that Bin Laden was delivered a dose of JUSTICE. That's what this is all about, isn't it?
