I personally find the death penalty quite distasteful. Yeah, Saddam's dead, but I'm not partying about it. I'm not surprised by it, but it doesn't give me any sort of satisfaction to know that he's dead now. As was said before, it's not gonna bring anybody back. And weren't there already plenty of reasons a normal person wouldn't want to become a crazed dictator with genocidal tendencies? This one was a long time coming, and again, not at all surprising, but I'll let someone else mull over whether the execution was right or wrong. It's not making me smile is all.
