Was Saddam Hussein a bad man? Absolutely! Did he deserve to die? Absolutely, as slowly and painfully as possible! Is the world a better place without such a monster in it? I'm not so sure anymore.
But, how could the world not be a better place without such a sick, degenerate monster in it? If his presence in this world kept other even-worse monsters out of it, the world would be better off with Saddam in it.
Iraq sits on the great fault line between Sunni Muslims and Shiite Muslims. Although a Sunni, Saddam didn't care about the tribal warfare inside his religion. He executed both with equal indifference. Iraq existed as a terrible police-state, where the people had no rights and lived in constant fear of the authorities.
Was Iraq a bad place to live? Absolutely! But, isn't it even a worse place now, with open warfare between the Sunni ISIS and everybody else? Saddam shot lots of people. But at least, he didn't behead them. The Iraqi people have suffered greatly, since the execution of Saddam
His death opened the gates of Hell for all the demons of Islam to escape.
I keep remembering General Colin Powell's mention of the "Bed, Bath & Beyond" rule: If you break it, you own it. Last night, France made another payment on that purchase. I am so sorry for them!
