I have a question. Why is it that every time I go away the world explodes and/or does something really cool? I was away the past couple days at an undisclosed location, and I get back and find out that Saddam Hussein was finally executed. Justice has finally been served. That’s one less dictator to trouble the planet. I wonder what the anti-capital punishment people say what Saddam should have gotten? They don’t make any sense.
Anyway, Saddam was executed on the morning of December 29, 2006 by hanging. He was executed in the chamber where he murdered so many others. As he was lead to the gallows, he was reciting “Allah is great” and “Death to America”, etc.,etc., blah, blah, blah. He will now find out that his Allah is not so powerful as he had hoped, and will now face an all-powerful God without any covering for his sin. I also wonder what the people who say everyone goes to heaven would say about this. They don’t make any sense.
So that’s a bigger victory in the war in Iraq. He will not be able to be restored to power any more. He has been executed to satisfy justice for the murders of countless other human beings. He will go to Hell for his sin and his crimes, and will not see the light of day for what he has done on earth. That makes sense.
UPDATE: A new cell-phone taped video has come out that shows the entire execution. WARNING: Graphic content of him hanging there, his neck snapped. He was yelling out Islamic prayers and taunts to onlookers just before the floor gave way with a bang. It’s funny how those two, Islamic prayers and taunts, always seem to come together in one package. Hmm.

I am glad that justice has been servied but I feel bad for his soul spending the rest of forever in hell. Not that I disagree with hell. I wonder if any one ever trired to witness to him. I think we should pray for his family, that they would get saved.

I don’t think there will ever be much that you or I will ever agree on, but this post might be one. Just think though, all he had to do was get saved in those waning hours/minutes and all his evil deeds would have been forgiven and he could go to heaven with all the other Christians. How nice.
Oh, by the way, you do have one of the nicest looking blogs I’ve seen.

Yes, if he was saved, his sins would have been forgiven by God, and he would have gone to heaven. Amazing how great God’s love is, that that is possible.
However, with Saddam, he had hardened his heart toward God. There was no preaching of the Word, there was no influence of the Holy Spirit in that man. So he could not just say, “I’m saved” and that’s it, he would go to heaven. Besides, he was praying Islamic prayers anyway.
Thanks for the comment.
