As George Carlin once said, "When a bunch of 'holy people' want to kill each other, I'm a happy guy!"
Should Saddam have been executed? Yep. Tried and convicted by his countrymen, sentenced to death. Puppetshow? Maybe. On the other hand, put yourself in the place of the thousands of people he persecuted during his presidency (despotic dictatorship)...all over religious beliefs and, of course, political views.
Are we facing the same thing here in the U.S.? Nope. Our votes are counted (almost) accurately. The people in Iraq had NO choice. It was Saddam or die (being very snarky, here).
What people here (in the US) fail to recognize is that contradictive speech is not allowed in powerful theocracies such as those that exist in that area of the world.
Should we be the World Police? Probably not. Are we capable of doing that job? Yep! That is the beauty of democracy, isn't it? Is democracy (I am well aware that we are a Constitutional Republic...give me some breathing room here) not the best system ever imposed?
Is our current President overstepping his bounds? Yes, certainly.
But, unfortunately for the foolish among us, that's not what this is about.
Ideals, way of life, and our American greediness and foolishness are the issue.
How much do you want to homogenize the world? One World Government? One way to live, IN HARMONY?....
Rethink everything, and the consequences...
