Saddam Hussein Sentence To Death Today...SO (fuckng) WHAT?!

DENIALVILLE, November 5, 2006 -- Saddam Hussein was sentenced to death by hanging in Iraq today. He was convicted of crimes against humanity for the brutal repression of a Shiite town in the 1980’s.

"As the chief judge read aloud the verdict, a defiant Mr. Hussein shouted, “Long live the people! Long live the Arab nation! Down with the spies!” He thrust his finger emphatically into the air as he spoke, then repeatedly chanted, “God is great!”

The judge, Raouf Rasheed Abdul Rahman, tried to calm Mr. Hussein down. “There’s no point,” Mr. Rahman told him.

The verdict, under Iraqi law, will immediately be submitted to an appellate court, which will begin its review within a month, officials said.

Still, today’s verdict represented a moment of triumph and catharsis for many Iraqis after decades of suffering under Mr. Hussein’s tyrannical rule.

Spontaneous celebrations broke out across Iraq in spite of an around-the-clock curfew imposed on the capital and other regions. People fired pistols and assault rifles into the air in a common gesture of jubilation. Residents of Sadr City, a Shiite bastion in northeastern Baghdad, flooded the streets in defiance of a curfew, whooping and dancing and sounding car horns. Even some Shiite police officers joined in the revelry, firing their weapons in the air."

COMMENTARY: Anybody else not feel any better about the situation? Huh? No one? I didn't fucking think so! It's meaningless at this point. It means nothing. It might, or might not, actually mean anything to Iraqis who were actually terrorized by the man, but they are just seeking revenge.

Is that, now, supposed to make any American's feel any better about how things are going? It doesn't to me. It's just another dead Iraqi. There have been too many already. Yes, I'm going on record! There is no reason to kill Saddam!
