Deathwatch

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.

Ack, the rush to hang was bullshit. He was in the middle of a genocide trial about his treatment of the Kurds - something that was bringing a lot of important historical information to light. I know it's too x-files-ish to think this but I think the Bushies wanted to switch the news from the fact that we're just about to hit 3000 american service deaths. What better way than to rush an execution?
