Sic Semper Tyrannis

It’s 9:15 here in Houston and I am glad to say that, according to initial reports, Saddam Hussein has been dead for the past 17 minutes.
Rarely in history has there been a worse individual than Saddam Hussein. He was personally or by proxy responsible for the deaths, many by (real) torture, of an estimated 300,000 to 500,000 of his own citizens and Iranians [estimates currently run as high as 2 million dead]. During his reign of terror, the majority of Iraqi citizens suffered unrelenting oppression. Open criticism of his regime was a death sentence.
As predictable as the sunrise, those “loyal Americans” at dailyKos.com are lamenting the hanging of the “Butcher of Baghdad.” They seem to believe that hanging is somehow too barbaric. I wonder how they feel about feeding innocent Iraqi civilians into an industrial plastic grinder, feet first. I wonder how they feel about the use of poison gas on the Kurdish population of Iraq. I wonder if the dozens, if not hundreds of mass graves that were unearthed after the initial war would qualify as “barbaric.” Poor Saddam, don’t you feel sorry for him?
Of course, some at dailyKos.com simply console themselves by again claiming that President Bush has killed more Iraqi civilians than Saddam Hussein. There’s something just not quite normal about Liberals. I think maybe it’s their willingness to put their political agenda ahead of the needs and good of their fellow citizens and people throughout the world. They really are twisted in their thinking.
I, for one, will not lose any sleep over this event, unless it is in exuberance over the exacting of final justice on this most inhuman of men.
So I again repeat the words of John Wilkes Booth, but with justification:
Sic semper tyrannis! Thus be it ever to tyrants.
Long live the American Republic!
