Saddam Hussain hanged

Well, here it is. The much-publicized and perhaps, by some, much-awaited hanging of Saddam Hussain has finally taken place.

Now, do I agree with execution by the government? Well, that's a different story...I believe in giving a punishment equal to that of the crime. Saddam took lives of many people and made many suffer, no doubt. But by killing him for it makes those who decided to do so no better than Saddam. I would want to choose the punishment which makes him suffer the most and makes him think about what he has done for the rest of his life so it eats him alive and by the time he dies, he understands completely what he has done and how he has made people suffer. My choice of punishment would have been a prison life in seclusion, which means no visitation rights whatsoever under any circumstances. To hang someone publicly seems far too barbaric for a civilized society to take part in.

But of course, that's just my opinion...

Whatever it is, what's done is done. Saddam Hussain was hanged before dawn and he is no longer with us. At this point, my thoughts are of course only thoughts to consider for the future.
