The display covered by the media was another horrible thing, it was like a circus show with countdowns etc. All this around the christmas season of goodwill. I don't pretend to know what people went through under his regime and I don't deny he did terrible things. But some part of me doesn't like seeing anyone killed one way or the other.

I kind of felt exactly like this, with all the chritsmas cheer, the hanging felt hollow, and empty, like it should not have taken place. All I saw was an old beaten man having his life taken away. Basically Iraq is and always will be a third world barbaric country because of things like this. Not sure if it was the best solution or not, weather it will decrease or increase killings. Don't know and don't care, just know it felt wrong.
