Sic Semper Tyrannis

20030409-saddam_down.jpg

Winds of Change blog reminds us what happened three years ago:

The end of creatures who bear the official title "violator of womens' honour" (i.e. official rapist). Of torturing small children to make their parents confess. Of the people-shredders, into which victims were fed feet first. So the operators would not be deprived of the pleasure of their screams. The end of The 10 Plagues of Iraq.

A day that also included the liberation of a childrens' jail and torture facility, thus reminding us forever of the opportunity - and the justice - represented by that statue's fall.


Thanks to all who serve.

Amen.

I had a friend, one since Kindergarten, who claimed that whole event was a totally staged occassion. He was getting his PhD three years ago. He should have known better. Well.. maybe not.
