Saddam Hussein
Many of you may disagree, but in my opinion, it was very WRONG to execute Saddam Hussein. I think it is inappropriate for any individual, community, or nation to have the "right" to put another human being to death. And, I do not believe two wrongs make a right, and I do not believe in an "eye-for-an-eye". Yes, Saddam did some horrible, horrible things in his lifetime. Yet, we, the people who support his execution are not any different.
Justice is never served by one person killing another. It would have been far, far better for Saddam Hussein to have been imprisioned and left there for the remainder of his natural life. I also think that it would have been very useful to attempt to have psychologists study him to learn better how he became the man he became, so as to help other people avoid similar traits.

I appreciate all forms of comments on my writings. I find that I miss the sponteneity of coming to read them here when they were unmoderated. I believe I wrote less due to the moderation. I have decided to adopt limited moderation. Hopefully the prior problems with unfettered comments will not arise again. Please feel free to comment as you wish about the essays I write. I will maintain those comments that offer kind-hearted and gentle opinion... be it positive or negative. The opinions of your comments will, of course, need to have relevance to the post as well.
