It's odd to see so many different views on this man, even though no one disagrees that he was a tyrant. It seems there are four basic reactions, which range from strongly against to strongly for:
- He did not deserve this, and that his trial was highly politicized.
- The choice of timing was questionable, and it would have probably been prudent to wait until after the Eid al Adha.
- Don't care, he is no longer playing any role.
- Good riddance! too bad he can only be killed once.
I would also quickly add that, the view held by a person was not necessarily aligned with the same persons opinion on the War on Terror.

Inauspicious start ....
I've been toying with the idea of starting a blog for quite some time now. I've put it off partly because I am afraid that nobody would care to read what I have to write and partly because... well mostly that :)
I have been using the excuse that I don't have time between work and my life to fit in a blog. but, as I am on vacation, I really have no excuse not to.
I decided yesterday that I have put it off long enough. Just my luck! All the news today is about Saddam's execution... oh well.
I never thought they would go through with it... I mean the Americans, Iraqi's would have killed him long ago!
I am hoping to update the blog every couple of days, or at least whenever there is something worthwhile to talk about, which shouldn't be a problem when your talking about the middle east these days...
