Saddam's execution has come and gone but some in the media, particularly radio personalities, still ponder what should have happened. The most disturbing is the idea that his execution should have been broadcast to the world via pay-per-view and, what's more, that the proceeds could have been donated to the families of fallen soldiers. Taking it one step further, some people argue for punishment along the lines of the final scene in Braveheart when Wallace is being racked.
How would we be any better than the savages posting their beheading videos? Now, the families of our fallen soldiers are certainly deserving of such proceeds, and I would have loved to deprive him of all that places him in the category of "male" just as much as the next guy. But seriously, at what point does anyone think that any of those ideas make sense? But lets just continue down the path of lunacy and say that once he's dead we'll hack him up and auction the pieces through some sort of cannibal ebay. I can understand the emotion behind all this. But if you truly support our troops, then you will realize the worst thing we could do for them would be to stir the hornets' nest further and make them subject to even more attacks.
