I started this blog in March of 2003 as we were about to enter and invade Iraq under the false pretense that Saddam Hussein, dictator and tyrant extraordinaire, was harboring weapons of mass destruction. Today, three and a half years later, we (well, not we...our President) are claiming "justice" because yesterday evening Saddam Hussein was hanged.

Yes. Hanged. Like a Yosemite Sam cartoon. Big burly men in ski masks walked him to the gallows. They tied a noose around his neck, truly, like in a cartoon, and then stepped away. Moments later he was pronounced dead, undoubtedly with his twisted neck and limp body swinging in the air, hanging from a rope.

How is this justice? It's barbarism. Nothing else.
