The End of Saddam — Maybe
| 1/2/2007 | Posted by Patti under War on Terror |
Well, Iraq has ended 2006 with the end of Saddam. He was hanged on Saturday. I’ve refrained from commenting right away about his death. I have to admit to some ambivalence about it.
He was a brutal dictator who directly or indirectly murdered thousands. If there is a figure who ‘deserved to die’ it would be him, however, how can his state sanctioned death be anymore acceptable than the state sanctioned deaths which occurred under his authority as head of state?
Is every country, every people, every culture in the world mature enough and ready to live in a democracy like we in the west hold to such value?
