Deathwatch

[profundis]

In all likelihood, according to many news sources on the web, at right about this time or iminently soon, Saddam Hussein will be hanged (or otherwise executed - there were some reports of firing squad being chosen by the condemned - not sure if that's how it works).

I cant' feel happy about it, like some, even if I think he deserves worse.  It's nothing to be happy about, whether he deserves it or not - even if necessary its a grim necessity - like amputating a gangrenous limb - nothing to celebrate...but merely to witness and acknowledge with the gravity the event deserves.
