Goodnight, Saddam!
I opened my PC at the office today to find out that Saddam had been hanged some hours ago. Well, I know that he’s going to hang, but somehow I just put in into the back of my mind. Until a fellow blogger posted a video of the dictator’s last moments in his latest posts…
There he was, in a black coat, looking grim (well, you can’t look chirpin’ happy when you’re gonna hang, right?) with some masked guards. The rope they used was really thick. The video ended just in time for a guard to have the noose put around Saddam. Somehow I pitied him for a fleeting moment. But he really deserved his fate in the wake of so many people who suffered because of his. His death somehow was the only acceptable retribution for them.
What a way to end 2006!
