Once he's dead, he's dead. Im not sure I see the need to go further and violate his body. Is my position so radical that I must be "on a soapbox"? Is it bad for Americans or humans to strive to be better than what we've been in the past?
Its a little unrealistic to think that this world can be 100% equal and fair.
Idealistically its great, realistically its a crock. The guy terrorized, abused, maimed, and killed hundreds of thousands of people - if you went by black and white laws then sure, it would be wrong to degrade the man and treat him as anything less than equal - but fact is that some of us believe he should be made an example of to be used as a deterrent. Now when you look at it in that logical, realistic manner, is it so horrible?
Turn the tables. I know when I went on to describe how he terrorized and abused, people like Sabz and yourself will say "So did George Bush" and then I pose to you the question, why do you folks say about all the nasty things that should be done to him?
Life is about perception. Perhaps both Bush and Hussein believed what they were doing in this world was "right" and "just" - maybe it even is whats truly right and just - but its all in how the actions are perceived by the masses. "Majority rules."
Fact is that Hussein is perceived as a monster by the masses and as thus he will be treated as a monster. Thats the human justice that has been dealt to him, not the legal justice. We're beings of emotions.
