primitive revenge

Primitive revenge
by David Verveer
How utterly stupid and senseless was the execution of Saddam Hussein, I am saying this not because I am against capital punishment, which is a primitive declaration of revenge, but the logic behind it. When they killed the monster, he stopped suffering and stopped feeling, or in other words, they relieved him of his punishment for his crimes. He went to his death, believing that he was the Arab hero, fighting the infidels, one of the most wanted situations in the Moslems world, dying a martyr.
This reminds me of the joke, where a boy was kicked out of the class room, because farting. He was standing in the corridor laughing loudly. Somebody passed by and asked the boy, what is so funny? He said, I farted, and was sent out of the class room, but they remained with the odor.
Executing Saddam is precisely the same stupidity, instead of making him suffer, like his victims did, they freed him by killing him and at the same time made him a martyr and gave those idiots, some more excuses to kill and ruin the original garden of Eve, and why, only for a primitive desire to revenge. How can we ever claim, that we are more intelligent than animals, who do not kill for the fun of it, is beyond my comprehension.
But I will cease protesting, as somebody would think that I care about the death of this beast, and claim his innocence, just the opposite, I tell you, he was not punished enough, and treated like an human, a title, he lost many years ago.
