I have no real feelings about the politics of all this. Saddam Hussein was a person who the world can probably do without but he isn't alone in that. Whether he should have died or not, whether he will be a martyr or not, whether there will be reprisals or not, the question remains: What gives us the right to kill another human being?

There are lots of people who possibly 'deserve' death but to quote JRR Tolkein in "Lord of the Rings"
"Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be so eager to deal out death in judgement."

I know that I personally do not want the death of ANY other human being on my conscience. For me to condone that death makes me just one little step towards what he was
