What a Difference a Day Makes

 

 

Nearly everyone now knows that Suddam Hussein has been finally captured, and the world has rid itself another evil.

Imagine going from palace to hole in the ground; from limo to camel; from rubbing elbows with world leaders to rats; from enjoying seven course meals to eating out of a can. And then to realize that all of the world is watching and can see how you had declined. That must have some serious effect on one's self esteem.  At least one with an ego like Suddam. 

I don't know that any of us can imagine how the thousands upon thousands of innocent women, children and men suffered over the decades he was in power. I've been visiting some of the Iraqi blogs to gain some of their perspective. I encourage you to do the same.

Check out http://hammorabi.blogspot.com/. The Saturday 12/13/03 entry is especially enlightening. Suddam and those who worked with him spared their victims no mercy. I think it will be interesting to find out what the Iraqi people decide is Suddam's fate.

Suddam Hussein is every bit as cruel and inhumane as Hitler was. The world stood back and watched Hitler kill more than three million Jews before stepping in and doing something, and then vowed it would never happen again. Well it did.

This endeavor should never have been left up to a few countries to stop. It should have been shared around the world with all free Nations. Those that did not enter into the coalition should be ashamed of themselves.

I would be.
