Youtube video of Saddam swinging from the rope; his snarling face strobed by digital cameras, while the crowd chants "Muktadr!"; a rave fueled by hate and bloodlust rather than music and Ecstasy.
I've been an unapologetic proponent of the death penalty for years, and certainly this guy was high on the list of those who deserve a nasty punishment. But what does this accomplish? A martyr for one sect, devil for another. Revenge, pure and simple; but does dignifying this maniac with an undignified death add anything to the world?
