CNN Gets Last Laugh On Hussein Execution

[Preechr]

I was thinking more of his ridiculous behavior in court... well maybe his open ridicule of the court itself. Between his disdain for the proceedings and the death threats and assassinations, the process was doing more damage than good. We don't need him to continue, and frankly the world, which includes Iraq of course, is better off without him on a few different levels.

The trial proceedings had become an open forum for all the movements that with to deter the progress in the region. I'm not saying that's the only or the best reason to kill the guy, but I will say that his life, due to the crimes we know he committed, was already forfeit. Iraqi law required the immediate fulfillment of his sentence for his first conviction. The law was followed. I have no problem with that.

I think the discussion here revolves around Saddam being of some sort of use to somebody kept alive. I feel his continued existence only benefited the enemies of a free Iraq. What were you hoping he would say or do that was worth keeping him around?
