Blue Crab Boulevard (Gaius) Saddam To Hang?

It appears as if the Iraqi government is set to hang Saddam Hussein. While it really isn’t something to celebrate, the sentence is justified, I think. There are some people who forfeit their right to live in the world by their own actions. Saddam is one of those.

With all due respect to opponants of capital punishment, if there was a guy who deserved it, it would be him.

Captain’s Quarters (Ed Morrissey) Three Years Later, A ‘Rush’

A little more than three years after Saddam Hussein meekly came out of his spider hole, the Iraqis have finally removed the last obstacle to his execution. Saddam attempted, with some success, to transform his trial into a political showpiece, using it to rail against the American occupation and to inspire the Ba’athist remnants to terrorist attacks. Despite having several members of the court assasinated or attacked, the tribunal convicted Saddam for crimes consistent with the evidence.

    links from Technorati, a situation that history has proven to be dangerous to recovering societies. That is what I am hoping. If any good can come from any execution, I would say this is the one. Goodbye Saddam and good riddance to bad rubbish.

    links from Technorati thinks that Saddam should be sending thank you cards to the Times. In the meantime, he remains in US custody. Saddam would have to be transferred to Iraqi custody in order for the sentence to be carried out. Others commenting: Ed Morrissey and bRight and Early.
