- The NYTIMES has a huge article which calls the hanging a DISASTER!
- The next Leftie Labor PM of the UK called it DEPLORABLE.
- Germans say hanging him made Saddam a her and a MARTYR.
- Ban Ki Moon the next UNSG of the USELESS CESSPOOL of corrupt child molesters has called for an end to executions in Iraq.
- Rome - home of Italy's Left - lit up the Colosseum to protest the hanging.
This short list - (I could have made a thousand times longer!) - all adds up to nothing less than a concerted effort by Leftists worldwide - by folks worldwide who hate Bush - to make the execution of one of the last century's worst genocidal tyrants into a bad thing. Sheesh. It was after all an execution carried out after a lengthy trial, undertaken by a sovereign nation's legal, constitutional, democratically elected government - a government which IS COMPLETELY RECOGNIZED BY THE UN.
What does the democratically elected PM of the democratic republic of Iraq think of all the criticism? He has condemned the criticism.
I think he's right. It was a good day when Mussolini was shot and hung by his feet. It was a good day when Ceausescu was shot. Sadly, most of the last century's tyrants died of natural causes. It would be better for future generations - it would send a better message to future generations - if they'd ALL been executed.
AND HOW ABOUT THE PREDICTION BY THE LEFTISTS, THAT THIS EXECUTION WOULD LEAD TO A SURGE IN VIOLENCE!?! It hasn't happened. (The predicted surge is a bogeyman as idiotic as man-made global warming.)
So, why is the Left so eager to come to the defense of Saddam, AGAIN!?!? Listen to this PODCAST by THE SANITY SQUAD - (a group of psychoanalysts.) They nail it. (Short answer: they hate Bush and the traditional Judeo-Christian West as much as the jihadists do.)
NOTE: Mubarak criticized THE TIMING of the execution. (And this too was a point of contention between the USA and Iraq.) The day of Saddam's execution was a SUNNI holiday - and it is believed by many that executing Saddam (a Sunni) on this date was a deliberately provocative act by the Iraqi Shia's who make up majority in Iraq, and therefore naturally control the government. FACT: the Shias and the Sunnis have been KILLING each other for 1300 YEARS! Their sectarian strife and violence has NOTHING to do with Bushitlerburton McChimpy or the JOOOOZE. In fact, MOST of the Muslim criticism about the execution of Saddam is emanating from Sunnis who consider Shia's apostates.
COMPLETE ROUND UP HERE AT MEMEORANDUM.
*******UPDATE: Joe Biden said on MTP today that Sadam's execution was like Abu Ghraib. Lindsey Graham countered properly: arguing that Saddam got what he deserved, though in a less than ideal way, and that this "controversy" will pass. I agree with Lindsey: it will pass - -if the Leftists in the MSM let it. I feel they will keep harping on it the way they did Abu Ghraib.

If only they had been half as passionate about Saddam's executions over the years.
