FEEL BETTER?
I read all the detailed accounts of Saddam Hussein's death in the Times.
I have a macbre interest in those kind of things.
I liked that there was hostile banter back and forth. It put some humanity in a barely humane situation.
It seems as though there was everything but a little pushing and shoving.
I have to say that I didn't feel any better after the deed was done. I don't feel any better now.
It is all a shameful and tragic business that will cost countless more lives.
No. We are not the agents of all of it. They are doing quite a good job of killing themselves off now.
But, we are the catalysts and the puppet masters.
Well, we. Who is we? Not anyone I elected or have any loyalty too at all.
The people who never get any blood on their own hands.
