San Diego radio personality Rick Roberts suggests that Saddam Hussein’s execution by hanging be carried on pay-per-view and the proceeds be given to surviving families of our dead and wounded soldiers.
I guess I shouldn’t have a big problem with that as long as there is a soundtrack of people chanting “God is Great!” in the background–since apparently nothing says “greatness” to a god better than a good execution by neck injury.
[Update: 12/29/06 10 pm Central Time--Word on the Web is that the execution has just taken place...]
[Further Update: For my fellow lovers of irony, almost certainly the 3000th American soldier will be killed within this 24 hours of the hanging--2997 at last report...]
Ok, so we’ve had our little fun.
“Mission Accomplished”, huh?
Can we go home now…?
[Update: Video of actual execution (including "the drop") here, and which appears to have been taken by someone's cell phone camera since it's terrible quality. I include the link here, despite the grisliness, because, indeed, there is much calling upon The Lord during and after the death--perhaps some of you will find viewing it to be the spiritual experience that the other participants enjoyed]
