Am I So Foolish?

Saddam Hussein was executed last night. And I stood in front of my mirror as I brushed my teeth when the news was shouted from the TV room and I said a prayer.
It is so wrong, to see whats happening in the news. To see newscasters smirking, celebrating. They did a mock-up of the execution on CNN, they had a newswoman holding a noose over a dummy asking for details as to what vertabrae were going to be broken, how would the windpipe be crushed, how long would it really take, how much pain would he really feel? That they are showing on the news a disoriented and frightened Saddam being led to the gallows.
I understand the justice, I do not like, but understand the politics. I understand that he killed hundreds. I understand that he is still a man, he was still afraid, he still deserved the justice and respect for being solely a human being that he may have not shown his victims.
It makes me sick.
