Amongst the dancing in the street and George Bush's statements, I just want to say that killing a man (yes, even an evil man) is not something to celebrate. It may be necessary. It may be the right (no, make that the "best") thing to do. But, it is not something to celebrate. Let's hope that others can learn from justice and choose paths that don't result in killing. Saddam got his justice, but we should have mercy on his soul and have wished for him a better path from his birth to his death. A better path that would not have led to groups of people choosing to kill him.
In fact, as I think of mass graves created at the order to kill as offered by Saddam, I am also faced with the presentation of the killing chambers in operation in Iraq now. Is there a chance that all that has happened is that the decision makers have changed and the killing continues? Humans are so vicious!
I bumped into the gem looking for the aforementioned reference. Economics, religion, class, justice, oh the convoluted relationships.
