You know, I have to ask myself if I feel either safer or better with Saddam dead and my answer, if I’m being honest, is no. As I’ve gotten older, my support of the death penalty has waned–I believe it adds nothing to society to murder human beings. I think Saddam could have been used for other purposes. Can anyone think of something else he could have been used for?

Target practice?

Sorry, but I disagree. If Saddam Hussein had been kept alive indefinitely in captivity, the only result would have been repeated cases of die-hard Baathists abducting people as hostages in order to demand his release. Thus, even out of power, he would have continued to cause the terrorization and death of more innocent people.

The execution of duly-convicted criminals is not “murder” any more than the imprisonment of duly-convicted lesser felons is “kidnapping” or the imposition of fines on petty offenders is “theft”.

I have a sort of “obituary” of Saddam Hussein posted on my site, if anyone wants to read more of how I view this execution.
