Yes, I'm talking about the too-cruel-to-be-true-yet-true hanging of Saddam Hussain, former President of Iraq. Well, he may have committed inhuman crimes on his own countrymen, been tyrannical.....yes, yes all charges stand. Yet, the way he has been dealt with - making a mockery of all internationally accepted judicial processes - just doesn't fit with the image the US is trying to project of itself. Alas, 2006 has to end on such a note - where the law of the jungle, an eye for an eye kind of retribution, has taken centrestage! Too sad!!
Hope 2007 will see more of good times......
