Saddam: A candle in the wind
This just in, folks:
Saddam Hussein has been executed. Yeah. No joke.
Even after all the reports about his lawyers postponing the date for another month, the international court of law and the death penalty still prove to be much, much, much faster than in the United States. (Dare we say deadlier, too? More inhumane? Well, damn. He was hung to death. We stopped doing that shit, um, a couple of decades ago. Except in Washington State and New Hampshire. Nevermind.)
The former president turned self-appointed martyr was executed overnight in Baghad’s Green Zone, MSNBC tells us.
What’s our American President have to say?
Saddam’s conviction was hailed by President Bush as a triumph for the democracy he promised to foster in Iraq after the 2003 invasion.
We assume it’s a little late for an appeal…
More to come…
(Editor’s Note: A hell of a lot more to come, whether we write about it or not…)
