The Death of Sadaam...a very good day!
Today is a good day! I woke up this morning, turned on the news and heard that one of the preeminent bastards of our age had been hanged until dead. I thought to myself, “The world is at least a little better place to live today.”
Likely, I’m not being a very good Christian in this matter and I don’t mean that lightly. In my defense, the grief and pain caused by this one man and his lackeys is immeasurable and irreparable. Those who have been tortured, raped, robbed, outcast and seen their families slaughtered before their very eyes deserve the swift justice that was meted out to the “Butcher of Baghdad” today. A long walk and a short drop was mercy he did not deserve!
Even before his conviction, those of the liberal, pacifist, panty-waist persuasion were crying their warnings that Sadaam’s execution would only fuel rage against the U.S. and escalate the violence in Iraq. Oh? There hasn’t been violence up to this point? What about September 11? What motivated those pieces of human fecal matter to attack us then? Sheesh! Well, I suppose it is hard for some in our nation to see the light of day with their heads...in the sand.
God save the people of Iraq! They’ve got their first opportunity in history to taste freedom. Once tasted, freedom only makes you want more. It’s like being born again! Is it perfect yet or will it be? No, but it sure beats anything they’ve had before.
Lastly, it seems to me that we could learn a thing or two from this new Iraqi government. Swift justice is the only justice that is actually a deterrent. I can think of more than a few child molesters and murderers who’ve been on death row in our nation far, far too long.
If we expect potential malefactors to take seriously any threat of retribution and punishment, we must knock at least a decade, at least, or maybe two, off the time between committing the felon and when they finally pay for their crimes. Then, follows a rendezvous with the Ultimate Judge in Whose court there is always swift justice and from which there is no appeal.
