Hussein Executed

[jlagnese at massed.net (John Lagnese)]

The Iraqi civilian casualties are very unfortunate. I do not feel that
the US caused civilian casualties would approach the Saddam count over a
similar time period. The civilian casualties are mostly Iraqi inflicted.
The WMD such as the nerve gas he used on the Kurds and Iranians probably
made it to Syria.

  I disagree, his death came as a result of the misguided belief that he

had weapons of mass destruction that were putting us in danger, and that

he had a link with terrorists.
  His death came at the cost of as many Servicemen lives than the lives 
lost in New-York, plus probably as many Iraqui civilians than the ones 
he killed himself.
  I do not see that execution as spreading civilisation and democracy.
