Cliff May's Thought Experiment.

Imagine that Saddam had not been executed. Imagine that he had been sentenced to life in prison.

Now imagine that a group of pro-Saddam terrorists seizes an elementary school. They say they will kill all the students and teachers if Saddam is not released within 24 hours.

A Cell Phone Video

The cell phone video of Saddam's execution. Not high quality, but you get the idea of what is happening.

He's Gone He's Gone

Nothing left to do but smile, smile, smile.

Actually, no. Saddam Hussein finally met the end he dealt out to many impersonally and personally.

While I rarely celebrate such an event or think it a good thing I certainly do not mourn Saddam's death. In these circumstances I wish Saddam would have chose different paths. Oh well. No time to dwell, we must now deal with those who would replace him.

The ironic thing is one reporter describing her visits to Iraq mentioned how Sunni Sheiks were proposing we restore Saddam Hussein and go after the Iranians. Seems I have heard that line about Nazis & going after the Bolsheviks.

No News Yet

Still, my guess is Saddam Hussein was hung before midnight Friday Baghdad time (3:00ish pm CST).

May God have more pity on Saddam than Saddam had on his victims.
