Baaaaaaaaaaaa !!!!! Baaaaaaaaaaaa !!!!! Again
Hey Folks,
I'm re-running this since the deed was done in Baghdad this morning.
For me, the act demands I ponder (once again) the nature of revenge, politics, capital punishment, murder, war, class, greed, "acceptable" psychosis, and the nature and future of humanity.
It will be interesting to hear the prattle that passes for "commentary" that comes out of this today/tomorrow/etc. That will be for laughs.
For serious commentary, think about it on your own.

Court: Execute Saddam within 30 days

BAGHDAD, Iraq -
Iraq's highest appeals court on Tuesday upheld
Saddam Hussein' 's death sentence and said he must be hanged within 30 days for the killing of 148 Shiites in the central city of Dujail.
The sentence "must be implemented within 30 days," chief judge Aref Shahin said. "From tomorrow, any day could be the day of implementation."
On Nov. 5, an Iraqi court sentenced Saddam to the gallows for ordering the 1982 killings following an attempt on his life.
Hey Folks,
It may be that history is repeating itself.
Iraq was invented and arbitrarily drawn on the world map by white foreign fingers, thus requiring animals like Saddam to serve as "leaders" who could control the antagonistic forces suddenly caged together as "brothers."
Now we hear from right-wingers that we need a new "Pinochet" to lead and control those same antagonistic forces, forces still trapped in the pretend "nation," those very forces set free by toppling Saddam.
Yep, hanging Saddam will cleanse us of our sins, but wouldn't throwing him off a cliff be more in keeping with Biblical practice regarding scapegoats?

p.s. a note from a compulsively "helpful" English teacher: The plan is that Saddam will be HANGED, not HUNG. He may or may not be hung at present, but he expects to be hanged soon.
