It is a shame we are such a civilized country when dealing with Saddam.
He
must be viewing his incarceration with a little bit of relief. It is also
a
shame the "Tiger of the Tigris" did not receive more than the "President
Bush
sends his regards" from our amazing men and women on the ground.

On the contrary, I think it is remarkable that, in spite of our
imperfections, we are that civilized.

I think the shame lies in that there are so many profoundly misguided
individuals around the world who, whether due to their upbringing, society,
or whatever, are not able to see that and instead stand by their own view of
things.

I agree that he must presently feel some relief that he was captured by
Americans instead of his own countrymen...
