Saddam Executed
I made a haiku for Saddam’s capture. It’s only fitting that his execution (or was it a whacking?) should be similarly commemorated:
Out with the old thug
Only to bring in the new
Feels like deja vu
And in less poetic words: I’ve seen animals put down with more dignity. Yes, he was a monster. Yes, he was a genocidal tyrant who used chemical weapons of mass destruction on his own people. Yes, if anyone deserved to die, he did. But a botched hanging (guys, I think the knot goes in the back) by a bunch of shouting, terrorist-supporting Shiites in a dark and dirty room with the video posted on the Internet for the world to see only underlines how screwed their country is.
Quick, someone remix the video with a “Mission Accomplished” banner hanging above him as he falls.
