The Iraqi government says its decision to hang two of Saddam's convicted cronies is irrevocable. The pundits will once again decry what they believe is an injustice. I don't get it.1. Yes, the death penalty is wrong, stupid, and accomplishes nothing. Why anyone would expect the Iraqis to agree with that statement is beyond me.
2. Yes, their trial was a sham. So were the Nuremburg and Tokyo trials after World War II.
3. Yes, Saddam's execution was undignified. By definition, all executions are undignified.
