At work today, there was a headline about Sadaam Hussein possibly being executed by hanging. Some of my coworkers were practically cheering about this, saying they wished they could hang him themselves, and such. I rolled my eyes and told them no one should ever rejoice in another human being's death, no matter the circumstances.
Afterward, one of the girls very timidly asked me if I thought she was a bad person after that. I told her of course not, I don't condemn people for having different beliefs.
So you can see an example of how these things are always a touchy subject.
On an almost unrelated subject, don't you find the intense hatred of Saddam to be kind of random? I mean, you'd expect it about bin Laden, but why Saddam? Iraq totally sucked with him in charge, but it's not like the U.S. people have some kinship with Kuwait and were just really pissed when Iraq invaded. There are just so many dictators that are arguably worse, so why Saddam?
Because the goverment spent a lot of money painting him as the posterboy for all that's wrong ith the world. Not to say that's he's a good guy, but he gets shouldered with the rep;ercussions of a lot of shit he didn't do.
