What happened there would make an American vomit.

Refraining from celebrating the violent deaths of others, no matter how much you think they deserved death, isn't about THEM, it is about you. Compassion is something you feel for humanity, and it doesn't necessarily make you weak - but it does, imo, make you more fully human. imo- of course

I am glad that Saddam's sons are dead. I take no pleasure in the pain they felt in their last moments.

I would have preferred for them to have been tried and then executed, if possible. The terrible, deliberate solemnity of the Nuremberg Trials resounds down the ages as a beacon of enlightenment.

Contrast that with the odious, quick, ignominous deaths of Hitler (suicide), Goering (suicide), Goebbels (suicide), Mussolini (lynched by a mob), Caucesceu and his wife (lynched by a mob). They got off too easy.
