Saddam Guilty?  What a Shock!

 

      I'm not going to get into a long explanation of my opposition to the death penalty, which I oppose in any case.  I would not have executed Hitler, Stalin, or Saddam.  Throwing another body on the pile solves nothing, except the vengeance of those who lost their loved ones.  And any Christian knows whose province is vengeance.  Besides, it makes all of us good people murderers.  Killing a helpless, trapped human being is wrong, no matter how much they deserve it.

 

      Anyway, I thought that when Bush couldn't find WMD's he would let Saddam go!  Ha ha!  Saddam belongs in a cage for the rest of his life.  Once a month with his supper he should be offered a poison pill.  At least most of the Nazis had the guts  to end it themselves.  Maybe Saddam would, but my bet is that he is just a coward.  His power is stripped from him and now he has been reduced to a pathetic old man.  Making him live without any trappings of wealth, given only food to sustain his life and give no pleasure, denied contact, and any pulpit from which to speak, that would be the supreme punishment.

 

      And once again I ask, "Where's Osama?"
