All crocodile’s tears !

Tony “licking Bush’s boots” Blair should shut up and look down as a disgraced animal.

Those who have related to President Saddam Hussein’s death will receive immediate consequences of their criminal acts. These consequences will follow their families until all debts have been paid accordingly !

If you MUST have capital punishment then you might as well try to do it in as barbaric a fashion for maximum impact as you can.

Less civilized societies (French, English, American) for centuries, have been lopping off people’s heads, lynching and injecting them and claim it’s a deterrent to others. Of course, any idiot can see it isn’t because the murdering continues unabated… but that doesn’t matter to the “authorities” - they never let facts get in the way of revenge and prejudice.

But as I said, if you MUST murder, then why not do it for maximum impact… in PUBLIC, at HIGH NOON, in front of crowds, TV cameras and fully mic’d so we all can be treated to every grimace and gurgle of the miscreant’s last moments.

Hussein was a madman and deserved to be denied access to civilized society for the rest of his life. Any system that sanctions his murder is, obviously, on no better moral ground than he was.

Whether you murder with the full authority of the “state” or as an ad hock effort as a private citizen, it is still MURDER in the first degree in my view.

But then , no one cares about my view.

Given how many people Bush executed as Governor of Texas, you’d think even he could somehow manage to accomplish the execution of Saddam with a modicum of propriety, solemnity and decorum.  Guess not.

Only Bush could have screwed it up bad enough so that a heartless dictator comes across as sympathetic in his last moments and makes the executioners look like drunken frat boys.  Only Bush could have converted a death that most people would have cheered into a martyrdom and a galvanizing cause for enlistment of more terrorists.

Is there anything Bush cannot make worse?

The only thing I am grateful about Bush is that he is so incompetent his assault on the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and democracy hopefully will not be successful.

Let’s see if I’m understanding this correctly: Tony Blair and company are complaining about the manner in which Saddam Hussein was murdered after his mock trial.

To my mind, hanging an man is little different from beheading him. So as a demonstration of democracy in action, the United States could have set an example for the rest of the world by instructing the puppet Iraq government/kangaroo court to impose a life sentence on Saddam.

Of course, Bush, Rumsfeld, et al. then would have been running the risk of Saddam setting the world straight on whether he had weapons of mass destruction, a connection with al-Quida, and all the other bogus reasons Bush used to justify his self-indulgent war in Iraq.
