I shed a tear?
As i researched the hanging of Saddam Hussein earlier this afternoon out of curiosity..(i avoided the whole thing up until earlier)I actually became overwhelmed as i watched the moments leading up to his death, with the thought of this man being hated by thousands, not at all that i sympathize with him, but to see someone so dark and so cold-hearted it actually broke my heart.I'm still trying to figure out what possesed him to behave in such a way that thousands were celebrating his death. I can't even begin to fathom the whole situation,i believe he deserved his punishment in every single way and also feel (although i didn't know him personally)he'll be paying for it for eternity.It still breaks my heart to think that someone did such an awful thing or series of things that we had no other choice but to destroy him. I'm also torn up for all the non-believers who are mad at God right now questioning him on how he could do such a "hateful" thing, but to all those, i believe there is a God and his heart is breaking just as much to know he handed over the controls to his child and he set it in motion..the wrong motion, but i'm also glad to learn from this and make a a baby step difference although it will be a small light it will still shine through the darkness,we need to stand up and be the change not just sit around and wait for it to happen....

It is a sad world we live in, and it is a bummer to see so much power go to the devil. I am just glad we know our father and understand the plan he has in mind for us. We just have to try and spread as much light as we can in such a dark, dark place.
We are friends, and as such our time together is usually spent in more of a reckless, crazy, fun-filled tone. But this post shows your deep, intelectual side. The depth of feeling and knowledge you shared was far more intense than any thought I have had on this topic. (Wow, that sounded like I have the corner on all things "smart" which obviuosly I do NOT! I am a jerk!) Anyway, thanks for making me think!
We can be glad that Saddam got what he deserved, at least in this world as we know it. But it is sad to see people that have such cruel hearts, I just always hope that I can forgive those that are so cruel. Thanks for writing a great post there lady!
