Saddam

You know what seems barbaric? Weighing a person's life, finding him inferior, planning his death and hanging him because you think he's too evil to be allowed to exist.

I know that Saddam did terrible things, things that deserve punishment, but it bothers me how society gathered together and agreed to kill him. Is that not also evil?

***
This is a quote from MSNBC story, "Nations welcome, condemn Saddam execution" ( http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11497279/?GT1=8816).
"In Pakistan, an Islamic ally in the U.S.-led war on terror, a leader of a coalition of six religious parties said Saddam had not received justice.
'We have no sympathy with Saddam Hussein, but we will also say that he did not get justice,' Liaquat Baluch, a leader of the Mutahida Majlis-e-Amal, also known as the United Action Forum, told The Associated Press by phone.
'The execution of Saddam Hussein will further destabilize Iraq. There will be more sectarian violence in Iraq, and we believe that the execution of Saddam Hussein is part of the American plan to disintegrate Iraq,' he added (emphasis added)."

I think that about all death penalties. They kill someone so someone else gets to kill them?? But that said- those thoughts did not cross my mind at all when I heard the news about Saddam.

It really creeped me out to the think that they hung him, and then put his face on the front of the paper. So much for moving forward as a human race...
