You're not the only one who doesn't feel right about Saddam's execution. I don't either. No matter how horrible a person is, I don't believe in celebrating their death. Their death, to me, just perpetuates the cycle of horrors. Or, at least, that's how I feel on the surface. It's a little more complicated underneath, and too hard to put into words on an LJ post.
Yeah, I guess deep down I don't really agree with death penalties. The man was horrible, he did horrible things...but...He was an old man...I just didn't feel any particular joy at the announcement of his death. And yes, you did make number 37!
