We have learned, as everyone else has by this time, that Saddam Hussein has been executed for the capital crimes he committed against the Iraqi people.
This execution is an interesting marker for the world, and I think for the USA in particular.
Indeed, in the USA, executing convicted murderers is carried out only after a very, very, long appeals process--taking many, many years. As a result, the death penalty is no longer a deterrent against capital crimes in my country.
Methinks there is no people, rude or learned, who are not awakened by this swift execution.
