Mixed emotions
If capital punishment is the right outcome in some cases, Saddam certainly fits the profile. Yet, after reading a very thoughtful editorial yesterday, I'm a bit torn about his execution and not because I'll feel sorry for the despicable lout.
The argument is instead, if we want to punish a person who's used to unbelievable power and control over others, maybe a life behind bars where his every action is controlled by the others he views as beneath him, is a more fitting justice.
In many ways his quick death is a way out for him. Just a thought.
