GENTLEMAN'S WARNING - ALL LINKS ARE TO GRAPHIC MATERIAL OF HANGING

HERE is a still pic of this monster's broken neck.

The Jawa Report - Blog Post & Google Video of the total termination.

Hotair.com - Flash video of Saddam's execution, the real deal.

The news is in.  Saddam Hussein el-Tikriti is starting his journey to hell, which is a good thing.  God Bless America, the Liberator of Iraq.  A good 4-part obituary at The Times of London starting HERE.

That joy I feel aside and having calmed down over an hour after receiving the good news, I feel now that we have liberated the country, killed Saddam and given democracy to that land - once we give provincial control of security to the Iraqi forces, then we should declare victory, hold victory parades and draw down our forces.  Translation: Iraq owes it to the 3,000+ Coalition fallen - including a family friend - to stand on its own two feet and take ownership of not just its democracy, but its security.

Below are six things we will (probably) never know from Saddam's mouth as a result of his execution - if you have any qs, please add:

Yea, I suppose my flippant title is off base, but I have a hard time feeling any sorry for the death of the man.  After all, he looked at the person responsible every day when he shaved.

Himself.

One of the arguments I used to get into with some liberal friends was that of accountability.  While this is not a partisan issue, it does seem that a lot of liberals look to excuse behavior with mitigation.  Conservatives generally fall back on personal responsibility, do the crime do the time.

I am sure we will hear this asked many times in the near future:  Was Saddam a monster, or some kind of victim?  In fact, it has already started.

On the TV tonight I heard stories about how harsh his upraising and how that may have made him what he was.
