Justice, served cold.

This just in, Saddam must be hanged within the next 30 days. A generous death considering the crime he's to be executed for; ordering the slaughter of 148 Shiites after a botched assassination attempt. He also has another trial pending for January over the chemical attack on Kurds in North Iraq. Hundreds died there...some just wish they did. I guess the Iraqis are trying to save money on the second trial and, as they say, "Get Er Done".

I was never quite so hot on the idea of electing a President in Iraq who's last name contained the word "Taliban". He just added an 'i'. Today I have been proven wrong. Although he didnt seem to directly effect the trial and he hasn't been a supporter of executions, he has, in the past, given authority to sign off on them to his vice president. But, even if the President and the Vice Presidents didn't approve it, the court has vowed to carry out the execution "by the power of the law". F$%k yeah.

Imagine the murders and executions he ordered that we don't know about. He's lucky. He was given the thing his people most deserved, a relatively fair trial...oh yeah, and not to be shot with chemical weapons.

Saddams gulags alone have seen an estimated 200,000 "dissappear". The NY Times said estimates of a million Iraqi's killed during Saddam's reign "may not be far from the mark." Iraq's population is roughly 22 million, give or take 1 or 2 people that got drunk and just sort of wandered off. Anyways, my point is, he killed 5% of the ENTIRE population of Iraq! It's about time a heaping helping of justice was served.

Now I'm going to watch the news for the next few days, and if I see a bunch of panty waisted liberals crying about how horrible it is to be hung, well, they wouldn't know the first thing about being hung. I mean that in a few ways, which I'm sure you can guess.

Let the Iraqis handle their business and move on with their lives.
