I don't think there was ever anyone who said that Saddam's death would solve everything or end this war, but, it's one step...tiny as it may be...he's gone and cannot destroy any more lives, and for that I am beyond pleased. As far as hanging being inhumane...I don't think so...but, maybe in his time with the noose around his neck and before they dropped the bottom out, he knew a little of the fear that his victims knew before they were tortured and killed.
So very well said.
I applaud you !!!
