Even after all the horrendous things he has done, I felt sorry for him dying like that. And many people will probably flame me for saying that, but it's my thoughts.

"Shot like he wanted"? He should have been killed in a way that made him suffer like his victims. Being shot by Sadam meant having gasoline forced down your throat so that your body would explode and burn when the bullets hit.

I have no pity for that waste of skin. His death is the logical result of the sad realisation that some people are just made wrong, and the human race is better of without them. And maybe the grim determination to rid ourselves of such vermin is a necessary survival skill.

Like the willingness to kill an animal for food. No matter how many layers of civilization we use to insulate ourselves from certain unpleasant facts, your steak is still a slice of an animal that someone had to kill and cut up.
