Saddam's out....

Didn't know that the name Saddam means 'He who Confronts'....well, he sure did a killer job of that (pun intended!). Anyway, the Iraqis made short work of him for sure....hanged him within hours of picking him up from the US custody.

Was all the trials and prison time etc,. really necessary? Sometimes, I feel that the American ideology of following "due process" seems really stupid in many cases. Spend several man years of time as well as millions of dollars of tax payer money to guard a wanton criminal, then prove him guilty and then sentence him etc,. In Saddam's case, all that was needed was a bullet in his head when he was found hiding in a hole...he had a gun on him so it would've been very easy to claim self defense...

Oh well....to each his own I guess. Will this change anything? Probably not...I guess the media can spin a couple of days worth of old video footage and try and garner some viewership....but other than that...
