L'aura del Campo

30 December 2006

Saddam Hussein was hung this morning. What is your opinion? I have none myself. I'm not fond of bullies nor dictators, but I am in no position to judge. I know from experience that "truth" is not an easy thing to discern. Neither is the correct punishment even when an agreement of facts have been made. I'll stay neutral on this one, but I'm interested in the opinions of others.
