Yes he was a man who did many wrong things, but I went to bed with an uneasy feeling knowing that the execution of Saddam Hussein was likely to happen before I woke. I could imagine it as if I were responsible. I could picture the scene in my mind’s eye, as if I were there. When I awoke to this I didn’t feel any better and I still don’t now.
I have watched BBC News 24 today and seen footage building up to pre-meditated murder, and then the corpse afterwards. In what other circumstances would they show this? An eye for an eye? It doesn’t sit easily in my soul.
I agree. But you knew that already.
