So, the news reports that just before dawn, Iraq local time, Saddam Hussein was hanged; you can check out some of the coverage: AOL News | BBC News | CNN | Fox News | MSNBC
It will be interesting to see what the reaction from the big ole sphere o' blogs is going to be, and how it compares (quantitatively) to other big stories from this year.
Click the links below to see blog searches for the term "Saddam Hussein" from a few different blog search engines: Blogpulse | Feedster | Sphere | Technorati
Anyway, perhaps this completes the "famous people's deaths trifecta" (James Brown/Gerald Ford/Saddam Hussein).
Thanks -- Joe

I just can't believe it. If we were hanging all those who have and are commiting humanity crimes, we would not have any more rich people in the world, nor millions of ppor in our western countries. Well, was he really killed for the right reasons? I doubt of it.

Bad coupling there, Joe - lumping Saddam with Gerald Ford? Ouch.
I've blogged about this in two lines. Saddam is reduced to a footnote in history, whose hanging won't have more than a transient effect. Many deserve to die, and do not; others deserve to live, but die. Can you give life? (quote from JRR Tolkien). I abhor the death penalty, even for a monster like that. But there's plenty more, and they only fall once they're politically incorrect.
The SOB turned out to be a real Swinger, after all. Who woulda thunk?
Well hung, too....lol
