THE LAST DITCH
Link: Saddam Hussein executed | Iraq | Guardian Unlimited.
Most of the world’s tyrants die in their beds; their lives an encouragement to others to try their wicked path to wealth and power. Saddam Hussein did no good in his life. Perhaps, by the manner of his death, he may turn some would-be tyrant from his path? Let’s hope so.
Of all the comments I’ve read on the execution of Saddam Hussein yours in undoubtedly the most stupid.

The head says yes, he deserved it. The heart is not so convinced. It may deter others. Who knows?

The time of the tyrant like Saddam is now almost at a close. As these people die off they will be replaced by commitees, religious leaders or democracies.
No one need to be discouraged and the existing tyrants are all making preparations.
All the speed of the trial and execution was to stop him talking.

Tom is a retired international lawyer. He was a partner in a City of London law firm and spent almost twenty years abroad serving clients from all over the world.
Returning to London on retirement in 2011, he was dismayed to discover how much liberty had been lost in the UK while he was away.
He’s a classical liberal (libertarian, if you must) who, like his illustrious namesake, considers that
“…government even in its best state is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one.”
