ham-fisted, botched or just plain stupid

yes, the feeling i had, forced to stumble across the hanging everywhere in the news - was disgust. (Public) executions are nothing what civilized nations do - they happen under Stalin and Hitler, in the Middle Age and under the Law of the Sharia

but they don’t happen in civilized nations - and that’s the lesson to learn here, because Bush had made it clear, that his America loves executions, the more the better

i guess, that’s what David Kurtz wanted to say - it’s hard to say, what this Pyrrhus Victory will cost in the end

it is as if Bush wants to do everything to make America look like a “motley bunch of executioners”

I’m happy to know you all….in the blog sense of course….

back on topic….

The NYT echoes Steve’s comments….and strangely enough, makes the case that it was America who tried become Saddam’s “benefactor” in the end…..

gimmeabreak! that doesn’t pass the giggle test….

The question remains: Was the role of America in Saddam’s trial and subsequent( and pre-ordained) execution, ham-fisted, botched or just plain stupid?
