Uncomfortable is how I feel. I'm uncomfortable cheering about the people who were around to arm Saddam in the 80's and are here to be a part fo taking him out now. I'm uncomfortable celebrating with a government who withdrew from world court, lost its seat in the UN Human Rights Committee, used Mark 77 firebombs (Napalm of a slightly different mix) to gain advantage in the initial bombing campaign, and has slaughtered and maimed tens of thousands innocent civilians. I'm uncomfortable concurring with a concept for justification for this criminal war often repeated bush* "Saddam was an evil dictator." I'm uncomfortable knowing that while Saddam's deeds will monopolize our media for the next year or so, the # 2 human rights violator on the top ten list, Saudi Arabia, US ally, will get a free pass to continue to victimize its people (Saddam was # 9), along with other countries from the list. I'm uncomfortable toasting a capture that will increase attacks on our troops who are in a criminal war based on lies.
