Saddam Hussein Abd al-Majid al-Tikriti, Saddam Hussein to most of us, was executed by hanging at 6 am Baghdad time for Crimes Against Humanity.

I have searched for some feelings on the subject as I watched the short video on Fox News at 3 am – but I have none. 

No elation.

No joy.

No saddness.

His maker has him now.  

This is not the first execution that Iraq has conducted over the last year since it was re-established.  Reports are they’ve had over 100. 

We must remember that this brand new government made a decision to use hanging as a form of punishment.

We must remember we helped them re-establish themselves as a government, after coming out of the dangerous times of Saddam Hussien.

We must remember this was an Iraq Judge, an Iraq Court, an Iraq decision.

The United States was their training wheels only, supporting them as they took their first test run on new wheels.

The Iraq people made this decision against the man who destroyed so many and deprived so many while he lived in the lap of luxury.

Don’t let the liberals try and make this out to be a United States decision – it wasn’t.

And – when can we get 30 days from conviciton to execution time in the United States?
