Reply #141: Saddam Hussein became a symbol

[Politicub]

that was more significant than the man himself, but as a ruler he was evil. Perhaps I need to emphasive that point more for you by typing EVIL in all caps.

But I still don't support the death penalty. In Saddam's case, dead men tell no tales, and I'm sure there were many more tales he could have told in future trials. But we'll never know. There was no justice today -- only revenge. And revenge is good enough for some people, but I believe that justice goes beyond merely executing someone.
