more failure

When did blood lust become an intrinsic part of democracy?

I am happy to know that I am not the only one wondering why we think that executing Saddam Hussein should be celebrated as part of our "victory" in bringing democracy to Iraq.

It would appear that the insurgents are not the only Iraqis interested in serious blood-letting.

Toppling Saddam Hussein did not automatically create a new and better Iraq. Executing him won't either. From NYTimes Editorial today.

The only thing I can imagine naturally flows from this execution is that the target on the backs of our soldiers has just grown three sizes larger.
