Another one bites the dust!

Saddam Hussein found himself temporarily between heaven and earth, and forever in hell earlier tonight after he was hanged for crimes against humanity.

Was it really almost three and a half years ago we saw this monster, wearing thick glasses and looking terrified reading a statement as we laid down the shock and awe on his bunker? Was it a little later his two psycho sons were put to justice by the troops? Was it three years ago we found this thing looking like the town drunk (and no disrespect to reputable town drunks) hiding in an outhouse? My, how time flies.

And how easily The Left protests. News reports state that Human Rights Watch criticized the execution, calling Saddam's trial "deeply flawed."

"Saddam Hussein was responsible for massive human rights violations, but that can't justify giving him the death penalty, which is a cruel and inhuman punishment," said Richard Dicker, director of Human Rights Watch's International Justice Program.

"Cruel and inhuman?" Please, rape rooms are cruel and inhuman. Throwing people feet first into a wood chipper is cruel and inhuman. Gassing a defenseless city is cruel and inhuman. Get a clue.

The New Yak Slimes said hanging Saddam won't make Iraq a better place. Well, duh. We've got a long way to go still in Iraq.

But, please, thank our troops. They've given us one less fiend on Earth, one more in Hell.
