I got up this morning, and Tina and I went into Lexington to buy our papers. We get the Statesman, the Chronicle and the Eagle (Bryan-College Station). All over the front pages of each of these papers were images of the LATE Saddam Hussein. He has been executed two months after his conviction. Hmmm, maybe we can learn something from them.
I also noticed, on one of the following pages of the Eagle, they had listed other men who have left their mark in History for their diabolical and murderous leaderships. Among them were Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Manuel Noriega and Idi Amin, all among the world's most hated people.
Shakespeare wrote, "The evil that men do lives after them." I'm not much on Shakespeare, but I suppose he was right about this particular issue. The Bible says, Proverbs 16:18 "Pride goeth before destruction, And a haughty spirit before the fall." That, I put a lot of stock in!
I remember when Saddam challenged the U.S. by refusing to allow the U.N. inspections as agreed upon when he dealt with Bush, Sr. He must have thought he was untouchable. His was a power of absoluteness and infiniteness. He could not be removed from office! I read today he fell apart when U.S. soldiers came to his cell to deliver him to his executioners. His pride got in the way of his reality, that proved to be fatal!

If I were Bush I would send a handwritten note, composed of two words, to the President of Iran saying, "One Down!"
Ha, and he would be wise to take heed!
Thats what i'm talking about...
Great way of putting it!
It is really sad to think that now when it is too late Sadam knows how very wrong he was.That was something he never admitted before he died that he had been wrong. Now, its too late!!! mom
