I read about Saddam's hanging with mixed emotions. Saddam was a evil man. There is no doubt about that. But I can see this making all the wrong people very angry at the US. I realize this was the Iraqi people that actually carried out the sentence. But the US will be seen as being behind this. And I believe the US was pushing for this.
Here was a chance to allow the world to see the US as a country interested in a moral and just world , instead of the way the world see us now. The world sees the US as a country of warlords. And with the hanging of Saddam, I feel the US has lost a golden chance to start the healing process towards a calming effect. We need that.
