Is anyone else experiencing a gut level reaction to Saddam's execution? I don't understand it. I would not consider myself overly political, however I would consider myself intuitive. One of the ways my intuition speaks to me is through feelings in my body.
Every time I catch a glimpse of the news of Saddam my stomach gets heavy and sadness washes over me. Isn't there a better way to handle people who are seriously misguided and dangerous?

I feel exactly the same. I do not understand it. It just doesn't seem right. Somehow the world is backwards.

A friend of mine was just saying the same thing...

I agree. This is not the way an enlightened society or world should behave. There must be a better way to deal with people like that.
Hi Kim,
Killing another human being has to be the last resort, reserved for self defense in extreme situations. There was no need to execute Saddam, he was not a threat to anyone anymore. But this is just the latest episode in the whole sick Iraq nightmare. One thing we could ask the so called Christians who run this country (and those who support them) is:- "Who would Christ execute?".

I feel the same way. There is a fundamental problem with the way the U.S. handles "criminals" and by default our client states handle theirs. I feel killing a killer just adds to the negative side of collective mind. I would think it would be better to try and help the criminals get over their problems and add to the positive side. This point can be seen in the U.S. corrections system. How can a person heal in an unsafe environment? Being raped or beaten nightly?? Prison should be first and foremost a safe place so the inmates can heal and better themselves.
Personally, I am struck by your comments as well as Steve's, because it occurs to me that only someone like Jesus could have probably done Saddam any good in terms of healing him. Let's not forget the thousands of people he was responsible for killing. That said, I still feel that he and we would have been better off incarcerating him for the rest of his life, instead of executing him.
I have found it on this website called [url=http://tipswift.com]tip swift[/url]. You can find it there.
