"There is no more acceptable sacrifice than the blood of a tyrant."

Most of the great butchers of the 20th century died of old age, in their own beds, some of them honored by millions. Not a single one met justice in the sense accepted in free states across the world. The handful who died otherwise are aberrations, victims of strange events that act as models for nothing.

There is one single exception - the hanging of Saddam Hussein on December 30, 2006 after a careful, lengthy trial carried out under extremely difficult circumstances according to internationally recognized judicial norms. The state of Iraq has succeeded where the rest of the civilized world has failed. It is a singular achievement, and it will stand.

"There is no more acceptable sacrifice than the blood of a tyrant."

#1  Hear, hear. Quoting my sister-in-law, who can be as liberal as any, on the execution: "Justice is served, finally. Now they should deal with OJ". LOL
