Saddam Hanged

I watched one of the cell phone videos of Saddam's hanging on YouTube. It raised various emotions. I suppose my main sense was how pathetic the situation has become in Iraq. The punishment of Saddam Hussein should have been a climactic moment--it's the current reason we invaded Iraq. We entered to topple an evil dictator and bring democracy to a people.

So for a group of hooded Shiites to lynch him in some "back alley" ceremony behind closed doors--not what Bush or Cheney would have planned as a moment of final justice! Instead, it became an act of tribal revenge.

What to do, what to do...
