Saddam Reaches the End of His Rope

For most of us the sight of Saddam Hussein dangling from the end of a rope would mean that one of the most ruthless men on the planet would no longer be a threat to us or his own people. Unfortunately not everyone seems to think the way we do and we call those people liberals. I know it seems as if I cast dispersions on liberals on a constant basis and maybe that is because it is so easy to. It is almost as if liberals are raised to be gluttons for punishment. I mean how else would you explain why they would believe the things they do. I saw the execution of Saddam Hussein as an end to a very long nightmare that the Iraqi people have had to live for a very long time. Those on the fringe would instead say that their was a miscarriage of justice and that we should not celebrate the end of the Butcher of Baghdad's cruel reign. How in the world was this a miscarriage of justice? Saddam Hussein invaded the country of Kuwait in the early nineties and we crushed him but made an egregious error in not pushing all the way into heart of Iraq and finishing the job. We let Hussein defy U.N. resolution after U.N. resolution so he could stockpile weapons which he would use on his own people. When Saddam was finally captured by our magnificent military we did not put a gun to his head and execute him in the field but instead returned Saddam to his own people to enact justice. Saddam was given a trial a symbol of democracy in a country that was dominated by the rule of one. Maybe his hanging should not have ended up as a video to be viewed along with a lonely girl and men putting mentos in diet coke but in the end the Iraqis could climb out from the shadows cast by Saddam. So you will not find a shed tear on my face when I think of the execution of Saddam Hussein. For those on the left who do I can only ask why? I know they abhor the penalty of death but can they forget those people like the Kurds who were gassed to death by a megalomaniac. Sadly I fear they will not because there ideology will not let them.
